Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors An oddball 9.3x62 111 model

Which auction sight are you guys looking at?

back to the thread topic:

Okay talked to Savage today and got the story.
300 each were made in a 8mm and 9.3.
All were intended for export. Somehow the shop I bought mine from got 3 9.3s.
It arrived today and it is cool. The barrel weight is like a 375 H&H, 20", center feed detachable magazine. As I mentioned Minox is now making binocs in the pattern. I'll be contacting (bugging) them to get a scope the same

Specifically what 8mm cartridge was also chambered?

No, thanks for the answer though . It was more for the general populous. I have a feeling we are amongst' a few.

Savage makes those in 8x57IS and 9,3x62 for the european market - mainly aimed at the hunter going for "driven hunts".

We like stout cartridges, handy rifles and safety orange for those as there are regularly 50-70 even 100 people (hunters and beaters) on quite smal tracts of land.

Passing something as mondane as a manufactures run for a over seas importer of as something so special is low. About as low as, say, pimping a distributer exclusive or a Leupold European.

Says also something about a guy, if he thinks, he can pull something like that in times of the internet.

Larry, Dwaine, Roger, Susan, Krissy, Doyle or Margret...

goodiewrench, oldman1942, the list goes on.

Do you still do layaw

From page 3, IIRC.

IF one wants one plenty of CZ's around, and now the Rugers. Personally I like the CZ better, real wood and has worked for me. No need to worry about a questionable auction.

Smith, there is NO AUCTION, the gun was bought to hunt, not sell. Stop listening to the troll liars.

Arrived yesterday here are the pics of the real deal.







Now to find the right camo dip kit for the barreled action, scope and mounts.

If you can make any sense of this example of this cracker's functional illiteracy, have a go at it, I'd love to hear it translated into Eighth grade English, grammar and spelling:

"Passing something as mondane as a manufactures run for a over seas importer of as something so special is low. About as low as, say, pimping a distributer exclusive or a Leupold European.

"Savage MADE those in 8x57IS and 9,3x62 for the european market - mainly aimed at the hunter going for "driven hunts".
There fixed it for you as no further production is planned.

"We like stout cartridges, handy rifles and safety orange for those as there are regularly 50-70 even 100 people (hunters and beaters) on quite smal tracts of land."
Sounds like almost as much fun as your "sport" before the war of Yankee aggression !

Trolls or non trolls, That damned thing is ugly!!!!! Flourescent orange just dont belong on any gun !!!!! who ever hunts with it might as well stuff a orange highway cone on his head like a dunce cap to finish off the outfit !!!!!!!!

I'll be watching for it to show up on AA for $1500, 10% layaway and a 6 month delivery any day now.


I do have to say that it looks a lot like the hunter safety non-functional rifles in the class my son took. Except the hunter safety class rifles have a purpose to the stocks being orange.

I was responding to Boltman's question, not to you.

There's just no accounting for taste.

Makes me chuckle thinking about posting this in the Collector's forum. Big Game, Deer Hunting or Hunting Rifles? Sure.

Savage Collector's forum?

<chuckle>

Poor Larry.

Yep

Tell you what Calhoooon, I'll put $5000 on the table that this rifle does not appear on in any auction for $1500 with 10% lay-a-way terms. Lets put a one year limit on it at which time one of us pays the piper.

Time for a serial liar like you to put up or shut up, right here in a public forum that is easy to check and verify.

PUT UP OR SHUT UP !

BTW, I'd say a rifle with only 600 examples made qualifies as a "collectors" rifle far more than the ho-hum 300 Savage EGs, you get damp shorts over.

This post will be printed out, signed, notarized, framed and hung on our gun club wall as a reminder of who steps up and who blows smoke.
It will be reposted here 1/13/2013 by one of out 70+ members, right on this thread, just so you don't forget where to send the money. We'll see who is "chuckling" then, my friend.

It's here, not in your gunsafe....sorry Charlie, a'int it pretty ?

Easy Larry, that vein in your forehead is gonna burst, it's the internet!

While I still don't believe much of what you say I'll have to agree with the EG comment but I think it will be quite a few years before that gun becomes known as collectible.

There's special runs of Savage bolt actions from Grice's every year. They have one right now, a long range hunter model 11/111 with 26" barrel and other special features. It's uncatalogued and far fewer of them made than yours. I'm sure other runs are done on a regular basis. Or you could call up the Savage custom shop and have them chamber any model in a range of cartridges - could almost surely get a nice model 14 Classic chambered in that 9.3x62 for probably what you paid for the Orange Wonder. THAT might end up being collectible.

Savage bolt actions are great rifles to shoot with and hunt with and I'm glad you found something to enjoy. But $850 plus shipping plus FFL for a hunter safety orange bolt action does NOT float my boat. You could pick up any of a range of high quality 1899's for that price. Could almost pick up a Kimber or some other rifle which will surely be collectible for that price.


And.. no, I don't think it's pretty. I'll stick with ones like this recent acquisition. I know that RS's in 308 are collectible.

Why not let the "expert" step up on his own ?

As for collectibility, you may be right, you may be wrong, but an excellent EG would cost as much and can't shoot a 286 gr bullet at 2300 FPS.

BTW all 23Cs don't look alike. I had a 32-20 23C (first model) made for the mayor of Utica NY with 4X wood, a Weatherby MK V level rust blue, wonderful 24 LPI wrap around checkering, the original box, order letter, factory receipt and (modern) factory letter. What it sold for would buy a safe full of EGs.

The data has been posted and will reappear in 2013. Good evening.

Hey, now THAT'S a nice looking rifle that won't get you laughed off of a firing line.

And only $50 cheaper to get a quality walnut stock rather than the non-Accustock Orange Wonder.
