A little shy of 9 pounds with scope, ammo, and sling. I like it. The weight on that one, all up, seems about right to me. My AHR at 9.5#'s all up may be a tad heavy, but it sure is a nice shooter. Just wouldn't want to pack it all over the creation. DF

Thanks guys. I had it built light since my 375 is so darn heavy. Recoil isn't bad and it is nimble and quick to point.

That's exactly what I was thinking DF. That rifle has very good lines. I could fit into something like that very easily. Just sayin....

Bob, I have to say that rifle is beautiful. Do you have more pics? How does it shoot and have you taken any game with it?

Bob, I have to say that rifle is beautiful. Do you have more pics? How does it shoot and have you taken any game with it? It shot great; I used it on a moose hunt. Recoil was up there because it was so light, but it was fun on the running moose marksmanship test. I zeroed it at 100 meters. Love those Carl Gustaf/Husqvarna actions. I've been looking for a lefty for years. I will be buying one of the new Zoli 1900s when they come out next year. Here's another picture of the lefty 9.3 Gustaf. Bob Here's gunwriter John DeHaviland with a right-handed one in .30-06. And my hot Swedish guide, checking her zero. She's killed moose in the double-digits.

RGK,
Your 9.3 looks like a really nice rifle!

I've got a CZ550 American, which has been a great rifle, however I'm not overly fond of the stock and wish the rifle was a bit lighter at times. Any suggestions on replacing the stock? Any particular McMillan perhaps?

I hate the safety on mine: That's about the only complaint I have about the CZ550 American. The stock is just fine and the weight isn't bad either. Those FL stocks and European hogbacks are hideous. A set trigger on a big game rifle is weird as well. I'm glad mine is the adjustable/non set type. AHR does spectacular work on the CZ550, something you may want to look into. Also, if you go to the Mcmillan website you'll find stocks for the 550...

I don't use the set trigger so I just ignore it, doesn't bother me. I had a local gunsmith work over the trigger and am very happy with it.

Bob,
Yeah, DeHaviland sounds like John might have something to do with airplanes!
