T I think the best thing it has going for it is the easy conversion from a 30-06 with just a new tube.
Well, certainly the BEST thing it has going for it is what an outstanding medium to heavy big game cartridge it is, but I know what you mean. And a "new tube" isn't even necessary. JES Reboring will make a 30-06 into a 9.3x62 for $250 all in cost. Jesse's cut rifled rebores have a great reputation.
Cheers,
