9.3x62

Never cataloged.

A "New Age" Savage!
What "normal" cartridge does 9.3x62 compare to?

A 35 Whelen on steroids. 250 gr Accubond @2500 fps. 300 @ 2250, treads hard on the 375 H&H.
Actually far more popular than the Whelen as it was "the rifle behind the door" in all the German colonies back in the day when the "white man's burden" was being shouldered.

I've had two custom rifles in this caliber - it is a great caliber. Bullets aren't tough to find and there are some fine premium bullets out there in this diameter. It has been used on the Dark Continent extensively and has a fine reputation there. It is viewed in the same class as the .375 H&H. I still have a .35 Whelen Improved custom rifle and the two rounds are quite similar. You can make brass for either rounds from .30/06. One you neck up to .358, the other to about .366. The 9.3x62 will handle anything on this continent and just about anything else on the planet. The 286 grain bullet packs a nice wallup

Thanks guys.
Even tho the critters will see you coming with this gun, you'll be able to knock em down before they get to you!

So how many did they make? Are they still makeing them?

That's an interesting gun. I thought I saw a Savage listed with that stock in 30-06 that was issued to Canadian Mounted Police.

Never seen one in a Savage. More than a 35 Whelen, just a bit less than a 375H&H. No need for a Magnum action. Legal Elephant rifle in most African countries. I have one, a CZ and love it.

Kind of curious that you couldn't pass it by, and yet it's still for sale. I hate liars..

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=267415516



Been listed for several months there.

I do not know Interthem, but he never actually said he bought it. His statement, taken literally, leads us to believe seeing it made him do something but he never tells us what. Maybe he was compelled to share it with us here... just sayin....

interthem is Larry Root, also known as oldman1942, BossLady, goodiewrench, iamagunnut, and a dozen different aliases on this site. He gets banned by RickBin, the owner of the campfire, then logs back in under yet another name. He's been caught in lie after lie after lie.

Infamous seller who offers to sell you rifles now on layaway and ship them to you in 6 months when he returns to Wyoming after his wintering in the Keys.

like with this one that you will remember was on GB for quite sometime - he now seems to have switched to AA - 99 on AA

Yep, 99% sure he got banned from gunbroker though he won't say why. Maybe that explains this, he tried to buy from the shop directly and they canceled once they found out he was banned from gb? Don't know.

Isn't he the guy that offers overhyped and overpriced stuff for sale that you can take delivery of 6 months later? Always getting into flames because he is such an arse and that no matter how many time he changes his handle people figure out who he is rather quickly and expose him?

I feel like getting a beer and some popcorn, this could be interesting.

Yep, same guy. All of it's now available over on AA. Take your time, it'll still be listed in 2013.

Romac, sorry I was unclear, yes it was purchased.

Calhoun, Well, if you want one, you can have one too. According to the shop the distributor sent them several. Your apology is accepted, We were unaware there were members who admired liars unless Obama has signed on.

Once it arrives and we have the serial #, we'll give Savage a call and get the story and post it here.

BTW Mr. Calhoun, you should get your facts straight. Talk about lies ! Yesterday T/W the guy you have made a "hate you" vendetta against. The 10% deposit method is working quite well..... 7 rifles sold thus far. As you are apparently unaware, AA has a policy that no items may be listed on that site that are listed elsewhere. So....... can you figure it out why there are no listings on GB ? You also managed to omit his f/b on GB was A+ as it is on AA.

Anyway, the reason for the post was to feature an interesting Savage. A few bitter individuals have tried to wreck the thread, so postings will end until data on rifle is available.
Thanks for the interest. Roger

Thanks, Roger

See ya Larry.

Calhoun, you don't have to respond to me personally, but for the sake of the forum, you said once before on another thread you took two minutes and tracked this guys computer signature or some such. I don't know the language, sorry. Can you clarify? This guy sure responds oddly to being called a liar...

He always lies and says he's part of the gun club in Wyoming that Larry belongs to and they all share internet accounts, blah blah blah.

Then he's so stupid he always comes on the campfire and posts the same pictures of the same guns that he did under previous aliases.

Bad enough he gives out incorrect advice and dangerous advice, but when it came out that he was taking campfire members handles on gunbroker/eBay/etc. and adding them to internet blacklists for bidding that really went over the top.

I guess I'm a little cynical too from things just like you say. I recently saw a new GB user named Charlie Hancock, which of course is recognizable from another gun auction site. But it's just a GB username, it could be anybody using this guys handle. I read this auction posted above and it would be hard to pick up red flags just based on the auction itself, except that the 10% down and buy it next summer is obviously weird. I still think the best thing you can do is have some good communication before bidding, but it's not always possible. Man, it's a minefield.

There are campfire folks who have bought and sold things to Larry, and I don't know of any cases where he screwed anybody on a sale.

But do you really want to pay a guy of advanced years and unknown health now with promise of delivery in the future? Not to mention one with the ethics of Larry? He lies, he commits what are almost surely state and federal felonies repeatedly by gaining access to this system under false pretenses after being banned, or a guy that has said the things about RickBin (the owner of this site) that Larry has said?

I mean, he can't even answer any questions about the rifles except from memory, or provide any extra pictures about the rifles because they are 2000 miles away. Heck, they might have already been stolen and he wouldn't know.

He's Still There and On A.A>

Hi guys, Duane here. Roger had to go to work in the gaspatch so he asked me to clear up the lies.

- Larry was never banned from gunbroker but has moved to auction arms
-The 9.3 has been shipped and pics will be posted here soon along with the info on it. Generally speaking, gunshops are not beholding to a website to decide whom to sell to.
-Larry is also on Amazon, GunsAmerica.com, Gundigest.com, Ebay and numerous other chat sites.
-His feedback records are at or above the 99% percentile in all cases.
-We really do have a gunclub and many, many members on this site.
-Our club has spent over $10,000 buying on this site from members and site sponsors.

I'm sure Calhoun and 1899 have done more..... right ?

It is too bad that adult (?) men have nothing better to do than attack other people with no reason. The beauty of the Internet, you can be "the Hulk" with never knowing who or why you are trying to destroy.

Now that the record is straight, we'll retire Interthem until the data on the rifle is completed.

Time to go Yote calling. Happy New Year to you all. Duane

I know there are Christians on this site, so guys, I'm going to hang it all out here and ask for prayer for Larry, Roger, and Duane.

I wonder how ol' Larry fills out a Form 4473 with a straight face?

Neat chambering, you could easily paint the stock if you didn't like the color.

btw, the 9.3x62 is a cartridge not a caliber.

Wonder which of his many alias's he uses?

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 layaway?

A Savage would probably be the cheapest 9.3x62mm on the market.

CZ's are pretty reasonable -

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=268131392

Ruger's aren't too bad either -

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=267835443

Thanks for the info on thr rifle itself.

I like the color. That gun looks like it means business.

Fear not. You'll get a chance to buy it (probably on layaway) in a short while when it shows up on Larry's gun auction site du jour. Best be prepared to suffer contemptous remarks from him in the process, and be willing to pay a bit more than it's worth. 'Tis definitely a masochistic process.

Isn't Larry the seller that would become very irate if people didn't bid high enough on his guns? He would threaten to block anyone who placed a bid that he didn't think was high enough?

Yep.

Yup, that's the same lunatic! And he's still trying to sell that lever gun for a stupid price. It has the Stith + Lyman Alaskan that doesn't fit properly on the 1899 because the front sight dovetail is too far from the receiver ring. The scope just barely makes contact with the front tube but according to him it's a tack driver. You betcha!!

Oh my another liar joins the group. The actual auction says:

"It is an honest 1.5" 5 shot group gun that works as well today as it did in 1903."

Hardly a "tack driver". But that's how the truth is told in Kalifornia, just like Jerry and Nancy eh ?

You betcha ! best to you boys, Roger

He ain't the only one selling guns (or trying to sell them ) for STUPID high prices. Check out GB. There were 8 or so "reserve" auctions with a self appointed shill and still nothing meeting the reserve. And now they're all relisted to play the game all over again. Let us not knock one without knocking them all. Either you got a gun for sale or you don't. Just don't PLAY the auction game. Auction the damn things and be done with it.

You talking about Ralphs auctions?

I still don't understand why ppl have issues with reserve auction, though I have never used a reserve when selling... Just bid what you are willing to pay and you either get it or you don't...that's it... What is the issue with that?

Yeah, I noticed Fug bid on some of those, as well as other campfire members. I'll have to ask Doug when he became a shill bidder for Ralph.

Yeah, I am shill bidder for Ralph also....

The first time you have an item go for about half the fair market value you might change your tune. Happened to me on fleabay and that's a lesson I don't need twice. I will admit that seldom happens on the gun auctions but once is enough.

Mike, I personally have never been a fan of reserve auctions and I've never been one to start my auctions off at $0.01 either. I start my auctions at the lowest price that I'll accept, and if folks are interested then they'll bid.

Actually saying that I'm not a fan of reserve auctions is putting it mildly. I hate them. Won't bid on them at all - unless the seller puts the reserve price in the description. I know some folks like the extra views they get by starting it out at a ridiculously low price with a reserve attached, but to me it's like walking into a store and seeing no price on the items, you have to take it to the cash register to see the price.

Jmho.

I know Ralph though, and this paranoia with shill bidders makes me laugh.

Same.

That way bidder(s) and seller know where the other guy stands and there won't be any "funny stuff"

I just don't understand why ppl care about shill bidders especially on reserve auctions... just offer what you are willing to pay and then walk away... you either get it or you don't... no one is forcing you to keep bidding... ppl act like somehow a shill bidder is reaching in your pocket and stealing money from you... but the reality is, you are reaching in your own pocket and that is no one's fault but your own...

I don't personally like reserve auctions either but can understand why sellers would use them... I also think shill bidding is just poor sportsmanship if you will but I don't get too worked up over it... it has the distinct possibility to come back on the seller...

Mainly because with an auction your always excited to see if you can get something real nice for real cheap. With shill bidders you don't get the rush, still get the item, but not the rush.

but in that regard, its no different then a high starting price or a reserve... both of which are advocated by some on here...

True enough.

Ralphs auctions are just like going fishing ,you just keep casting adding more bait each time!!!!! half the time he don't have the caliber in the description!! I could care about a reserve auction, i would rather see a real starting price, with no reserves from any sellers. I would think Stever would be getting tired of bidding over and over on those rifles !!! Don

Ralph had a postmil 250F listed with pictures of an EG and the best part... last I saw it, it was bid up to almost $1000!!!

See somebody met the reserve on his 308 EG.

Somebody must really want that gun.

Reminds me of the mint one I left behind for 650

Drew, he added the correct pictures on that 250F eventually.

Well Minox has the binocs out to match the Savage 9.3x62:




Can the scopes be far behind?

"Signal-colored camouflage products for hunting and outdoor activities are now very popular. In Europe, the demand for technical equipment or clothing of a camouflage design has risen substantially over recent years. MINOX, the optics specialist from Wetzlar, is responding to this trend and is offering its proven BV binocular line in an orange camouflage look. Especially when out on driven hunts or tracking in dense vegetation the new binoculars BV 8x42 and BV 10x42 Orange Camo provide even greater reliability and flexibility."

Shill bidding capitalizes on people that don't know as much as they should. If (some) people see there are others interested and there is a good deal of bidding, they think the gun must be really worth it, special, etc. A potential buyer should really know that on their own. If you need other people's (apparent) enthusiasm to tell you that it is worth more than you thought on your own, you are out of your depth and shouldn't be bidding (unless you truly have money to burn).

So I am suppse to dislike shill bidding b/c stupid ppl exist?

Nope - I am not suggesting you dislike shill bidding. It is just part of what goes into, "caveat emptor." And I think you have that down pretty well, Drew

As was previously said:

"Just bid what you are willing to pay and you either get it or you don't...that's it... What is the issue with that?"

It's called KISS.

[quote=lovemy99] I just don't understand why ppl care about shill bidders especially on reserve auctions... just offer what you are willing to pay and then walk away... you either get it or you don't... no one is forcing you to keep bidding... ppl act like somehow a shill bidder is reaching in your pocket and stealing money from you... but the reality is, you are reaching in your own pocket and that is no one's fault but your own...

Are you a shill bidder?

If you're asking me the answer is no. Gun auctions we list start at the price we will take and have a buy it now. Just have them on auto-relist and they all eventually sell.

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

"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.

To read this thread is discouraging, for me at least.

Be not dismayed Fireball. Ol' Larry (and his "club" of 70 or so personalities that are iterations of himself) has been a thorn in our side for a couple of years now, popping up on average about twice a year with his gloating, absurd claims, and world-class drivel. Each time before he slithers back under his rock he manages to cast nasty aspersions toward everybody who dares call him out. Sit back and enjoy it for what it is: good theater.

Hahahaha, I know Larry, I know. The mayor of N.Y. yet! Tell ya what Larry, do me a favor and put a quarter on the butt stock of that orange gun of yours and post a pic, just make me believe buddy, make me believe.

The sky is blue, lets argue that fact for awhile shall we?

gnoahh, it's not that he crawls back under his rock as Rickbin finally takes notices and bans his new accounts again.

To give Larry some credit, his picture taking is 1000% better on the pictures he posted of the Orange Wonder as compared to the rifles he puts up for auction. Those pictures are unbelievably bad quality.

It has the accustock.

Thanks for the correction on that...

Still fugly tho.

Why would I care if some troll from the white North believes anything ?
Having fun out at the range with your 1911s ? Supressed 223s ? 50 Ma Deuces ?
LMAO !


BTW noticed Calhoooon is hiding under his desk. Guess the 5 grand bet gagged him up.

Can we stop encouraging this guy?

The fire just about burns itself out and somebody comes along and pours more gas on it.

So thats a no on the quarter on the stock thing huh? Alrighty, thats what I figured.

Not a problem Larry.

After I get the rest of it as well as the scope and mounts dipped, I'll take you some extra special pictures.
Since you are so sure I faked the photos, a whiz kid like you should be able to find the originals on the Internet....right ?

Had the RCMP inspect your safe storage facility recently ? LOL

Yawn, your boring me Larry.

You gotta realise Larry that I'm a moderator on other sites so this drivel you spew is meaningless to me. Thats the main reason that only you get so upset when it comes to a good flame. Your an amateur. The funny part is that your the only one that can't relax and watch the hockey game because your so bummed out that you can't pump up the little Canadian boy who probably owns more handguns than you.

And every handgun you own is registered and ready for the Peoples Republik of Kanada come and melt it down the next time the loons get back in control.
A govermental system with no checks and balances lead to a dictatorship of the minority.... asks your friend in England, Australia and NZ.

I am impressed that you are a moderator on some unnamed site(s), pays well I'll bet !!!!!!!!

Blah, blah, blah....


Night Larry, sweet dreams.

Ok.. so he has an Orange gun in an oddball caliber for North America. Big deal. Seriously though, has anyone heard of this configuration being issued to Canadian Mounted Police in 30-06. I swear I saw an article about it and a picture of that stock setup somewhere.

I'll bet some of them have the mad dog mark.

Oh wow, cool idea, gotta see if the SRC 1895 has one of them on it.

Not sure on taking that barrel band off though.

Mad dog mark right next to an MP mark would make it an instant collectors item.

I just had a thought- suppose Larry photoshopped the color onto that stock, hmmm? I wonder how it would look in lime green, or electric purple, or...

Just an update for the Savage lovers. The dip kit is ordered so soon the WHOLE rifle scope and mounts will all "be ablaze" as well.
As for Ruger and CZ, they make fine rifles, but one has yet to be born that a Savage will not outshoot. Don't see any Rugers or CZs taking home the trophies for F class. As for "getting laughed off the range" if you are so insecure that the opinion of a bunch of dolts, controls your life well........
Actually I enjoy taking their money, especially the ones with 22" 300 WSMs who think their super cartridge is faster than my ancient 26" barreled 300 H&H 721. Easy prey to a Chronograph.
Stand by, pics will be posted when complete.

Save them Larry.

We will save them, especially for you and post them right here as well as all the other sites we populate. Their is a world beyond 99s and a fool who got the best and brightest of British youth killed off before blessing the world by drowning.

Which of your multiple personalities are you today, Rootboy? Personally, I don't give a rat's ass what color you make this thing.

Then I suggest you hit the "ignore button" before you stroke out like Pembleton did up in Balto.....

Well "boys" here are all the before and after pictures. I'm sure you can find what Internet sight they were stolen from (LMFAO).

The factory stock is done in Realtree Orange which is N/A in DIY kits. The dip kit is Tru-tree orange which has the same base color but the dip film has more "branches" and a bit of a gray cast to it. Came out quite well for a first try and looks much better than the Savage black parkerizing.

Since ungulates are color blind, the color is no issue and it will never get left behind. The 9.3 will handle anything with the proper bullets.

Maybe next I'll do one of those butt ugly impressed checkering, monte carlo 99s......

AS PURCHASED:





AS NOW:

Why is everyone so down on Mr. Interthem? Has he spoke against the masses? Has he questioned the "Lords" of Savage thread? I justcannot grasp the negativity of this whole scene. Could somebody explain?


Fireballredux

Yep, still fugly.

Troll proof PM on the way

sugarbritches by far the BIGGEST troll to grace the INet is YOU and your 54+ multiple personalities. keep applying ointment to that oozing clit of yours, no one is giving two shiets over your puzzified whinings or that fugly as sin POS orange dong rifle you are so giddy as a school girl about.

Is this rifle for sale and do you offer a lay-a-way plan? Don't need it for like six months, so maybe we can strike a deal?

So you're going to PM yourself. [bleep] classic Larry!! You give Sybil a run for her money.

You would be good for a laugh if your reloading "advice" wasn't actually dangerous most of the time.

Keep rockin that orange abomination. We'll be looking for it on Gun broker next year. Of course, you will be selling under a different handle.


Clyde

2 peas in a pod?

Agreed, I usually don't even open the page if there is a "reserve" on it.

Terry

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=277121248


If anybody wants one, here ya go!

Yep.. you could do that.

Or you could have your gun dealer call up the custom shop at (413) 568-7001 ext 4399 and probably get that chambering in many of their other models for probably hundreds less.

The caliber does kinda intrigue me, but there is no way I could bring myself to put that orange abomination in my cabinet

Steelhead has some sweet stocks (in my opinion)...very cutting edge custom, but not for everybody. Traditionalists would come unhinged!

Cabelas has one for sale for $599 on their website.

Ha!

Cabelas

...Ya but the barrel and receiver are not orange coated....

All I'd have to do is give my grandbabies a black and an orange sharpie and they could make it look as good as this one

It reminds me of Halloween candy.

Geez... If you don't want an orange colored Stock reprint it. What does a can of spray paint cost?

Cabelas also has a Savage M111 in 8X57MM Mauser caliber for
sale.

Huntersoutlet.com has one in the 8x57 with black stock...a special run for the Euro market. I am actually growing fond of the Blaze orange camo stock, as odd as that may be. Not the scope and barrel so much in the same pattern but I could live with that stock...
