Yes between us 99 animals shot including the ducks.
There are 5 deer standing in the snow filled gully just above the front right corner of the truck too far for us as we had all the eaters we needed.Attachment 10000
4 goats to the 9.3 and 1 to the .308. A family afternoon out.

What a great trip!! thanks for sharing some photos of it as well - it is fantastic to to see its a whole family affair too. well done. (Can't wait to get a 9.3x62)
Sweet trip
A mate has a 9.3x62 and he loves the 250gr Barnes TS 2550fps works great on big red stags up close out to 350yds:)
Any bullet out of a 9.3 is going to work on the biggest of red stags. I am about to load some 250gr Accubonds at a tad over 2500fps. Lets face it in todays energy conscious world, shooting animals with 285 gr bullets is such a waste of energy :thumbsup:
I have a Husqvarna mod 1600 9.3x62, a real beauty.Bought it about 4 years ago ,used it on a few deer and hundreds of bunnys. Seems to go ok on the bunnys :D
Only issue is im a leftie,and the cheek rest is set up for a rightie,and it knocks hell out of my cheek,I thought about altering the stock a bit and adding a cheek pad OR turning the stock into firewood and getting a new one made. Its currently a target stock,looks huge but is quite light,my 17hm heavy barreled savage weighs a ton more.I can happily tote it around all day.
Now my question is, does anyone have their 9.3 suppressed ? Mine seems to kill the deer by the noise alone.
Don't have any pics of it apart from these from when I bought it.

Thats a beauty OIP, I like the ammo storage in the butt, seams a waste to turn that stock into firewood though.....some one out there must want to swap?Quote:

Wow, thanks. What is the difference between a small ring and large ring mauser ? unsure what I have. Don't like the nutmeg though. kinda looking at either Applejack or Sky royal blue for an extra $15. http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/79c4d7...or-Options.jpg I would really like to personalize this rifle. If someone has a Husqvarna mod 1600,they can have this stock if they like. I will be pulling the ammo storage in the butt out though to put in the new stock.Quote:

Call yourself a Mauser owner and you dont know the difference between small and large ring!!!Quote:

That's b/c the 1600 is a commercial action...
What this means is that your action will fit in a Mauser 98 stock but you gotta pack it out a bit round the ring:P
Just in the process of restoring a 12.17 x 44 R, next size up?
The hole centers of the action screws are different between large and small too.
Picked up a very tidy Husqvarna 1640 today and two boxes Norma ammo, and a box hornady, been looking for a while at a sako, The husky sorta arrived on my door,:cool: pretty happy, price was sharp. Grand poorer, but very happy, my gift to me after 6 days OT.
Surprised how light it is 6.11oz, 7lbs all up with 4 rounds.
Going to give it a couple sighters tomorrow morn and take it out for a short hunt for whitetail or black bear.
leaving it as irons for now.
