Thread: Anyone hunting with a 9.3x62

I haven't had mine out since I shot a stag in April.

I've had the stock off mine, bed and doing stock up
Needs to go back together just haven't done it yet as possibly going to send the barrelled action for a Cerakote, am spending a fair bit of time deciding whether it is worth it or not

This thread should have a mandatory photo attachment for all posts mentioning such rifles

here are a couple of lousy cell phone snaps of the stock with a few coats, has had 4-5 more since then

That looks really good mate

Thats a bloody nice bit of wood Jake

Cheers, chaps, yes, lucked into it really.

110 grain Makarov projectiles can be used in these rifles in 9.3x 57 not sure on 9.3x 62

I had my husky out two nights ago at the range, have fitted a peep sight, and now discovered that i can't get enough adjustment, 4-5" high at 25m, so have ordered a couple new front blade's in different heights now,
forgotten how much of an beast, a 7lb 9.3x62 is off the bags, 16 shots and I had had enough,
some one on Canada Gun nuts has a sako black bear, with 20 rounds threw it, 9.3x62 for sale for $1800, i hope its sold before six weeks in invoices, i just billed get paid.

Nice mate yeah the light huskys with the hard butt plates aren't the nicest off the bench. That's not a bad price on the Black bear, over here they go for around $3500 new. Currently a very nice Sako Grizzly 9.3 on TM at the moment.

Looking good like the stock shape and also has some good fiddles and grain running thought there!

Yeah, my plastic but plate didn't last long at all.

Well bugger me, there`s plenty of hope for me then with my Sharps in 45-70, 420 gr, 70grs 3f black powder. Just have to wait a week for the smoke to clear to see if I hit anything, , 100mts at the range , don`t think the goats will like it. Cheers, Homebrew.357.
, Ok at the range, but hunting, it`s 12-1/2 lbs,, have made a sling for it.

NO,!! If I did that the yank`s would shoot me. As backup and to stop my arm breaking will be taking my little .3030 bush gun, 'sudden death". takes no prisoners. Homebrew.357.
