While I am not hot for the factory stock have a look at a 146 Husky. That is a good template for a 9.3x62.

Why not 6.5-06 or 6.5 PRC? I have a savage 99 in 308 with 2x7 scope, short distance light weight. Remington 700 in 280 Rem with a 4x12 mid range and a custom 1909 Arg in 6.5-06 with a 4.5x16 VXL and 26 in heavy barrel for long range. All my bases are covered for the lower 48.Find a hole in your battery and fill it.

Edit: I would run a 1-8 or 1-7 twist or you'll be shamed from the Campfire for not setting it up to shoot 1000 yards.
Which brings up another question, with a 1 in 7 twist I wonder if a Sierra 52 matchking would make it out the barrel before it turned into fairy dust?

Well I've determined what I'm going to build on the 09 Argentine . A classic looking .264 Winchester Magnum.

Have you considered a .256 Newton? Get all the good things the .264 has and none of the bad.

Sigh.... You make me sad. I was starting to get on the 9.3x62 train. I think getting a full custom mauser completed is hard enough with standard cartridges. When you throw in opening up the bolt face, correcting any feeding issues and potentially re-heat treating the action it becomes a much bigger can of worms.

Regardless, good luck with it!
