Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Looking to buy a 9.3x62 Bolt Rifle

Sorta TIC, but a Browning in 9.3....? 9.3 screams Mauser or derivative...

Who cares. It's to good of a round to consign to action snobbery.

I think any synthetic fit for a mark X will work. McMillan does them.

I've been looking for a Vixen and end up seeing lots of Finn Bears.

Now I got it in my head that a 222 and a 9.3x62 on matching Sakos with nice walnut would make me more awesomer than I already am......if that's possible.

Alright here's what's happening on Monday, my trusted model 70 featherweight 30-06, is first to get rebored, to see how it goes.
It will get a 1.5x5 VX3 and will be my main hog gun. I am also looking at the mauser m12, but I want the optional open sights on it and the wooden bolt handle, so that will take a bit to accomplish but ill get it.

Check out Haenel Jaeger 1o Timber LX, type it in youtube, that's my favorite but not available in the US yet. Its made in Germany, in Suhl and belongs to the Merkel Family. I will try to import one, but that's in the future.

Thanks

The CZ 550 is a little heavy, but the fine shooting qualities of the cartridge make it worth it, I sure like my 550fs in 9.3X62. Sakos, Tikkas, and Rugers are all worth considering.

CZ 550

Dirt Farmer has a sweet CZ550 from AHR in 9.3.

Markus22 - a CZ550FS has a shorter barrel than the 550 American and would make a fine handling hog rifle. Plus, with open sights, QR mounts and the Mannlicher style stock (FS) just looks neat. Homesteader

My CZ 550FS is very accurate and a fine handling rifle. My mistake was passing on a McMillan that was in the classifieds awhile back. My other one is based on a commercial FN Mauser. My favorite rifle. You can get a new Nosler rifle in 9.3x62

Will do. Yes, and a pretty decent stock as well. That said, when I moved to Oz I packed one of Mark's Mauser stocks, a lightweight Kebco pad, Talley LW's and a 6x FXII in the shipping container. The barrel profile is pretty lean going .6" at the muzzle. As is, it weighs a bit under 7#. Yes it is a bit rough, about like my SS Ruger 7x57 was, but a bit of elbow work and it will be fine. I am in Korea until early May so will work on it then.

I am in the throes of planning my retirement gift, a grizz, goat and elk hunt in BC, and this will be the rifle that goes.

My first 9.3x62 was built on an FN. Cliff LaBounty rebored it, a 30-06, in 2000. It's first critter using the original 250 gr X.





Here is it wearing wood that Karnis worked over.



My second, bought in 2004, is this original Husqvarna also on an FN.

What type of rifling did you get?

Wow, those are beauties with a lot of character. Very nice buddy. I assume you finally made the switch to the left handed rifles though. The lefty Zastava 9.3x62mm (that I shot a while back) was pretty accurate and very light. It pounded you more than my heavy azz CZ ...The 9.3x62 is a cool round and quickly becoming one of my favorites..

3, 4, or 5 groove, cut rifling are the options.

On 9.3s he only does three groove.

Thanks for the info.
