Excellent and timely post for me, I am here in Oz and a new member, hello everyone.

I just bought a M77 Hawkeye in 30-06 to rechamber to 9.3 x 62 and found this post searching the net. I own a Ruger No 1 and previously owned a Tikka both in 9.3 x 62 but sold it due to the magazine length restriction, I really wanted an all weather repeater workhorse, options are limited so I will build one.

Here it will be used for Boar and the odd Buffalo only using hand loads of the heavy projectiles, Barnes or Woodleighs.
