LOL it is but a baby

Bring in down to the big bore shoot. I'm sure we are still having it again in the new year, and we could get you onto a few wallaby

That is pretty

Beautiful rifle mate, you have to get out and shoot her. They are not bad on the shoulder, think 30-06 firing 200gr projectiles and then a bit more. You'll be fine especially with that recoil pad

Anyone tried a short barrel on a 9.3 for bush work with a suppressor?

I have a 16 inch barreled suppressed 375wsm which I get 250gn ttsx going 2750fps

You'll be damn pleased it is suppressed Mikee.

yep, If you swap the suppressor for the T3 Loudner then its really really really loud.

I am considering though pulling the barrel and putting a 30cal one on in 30 Nosler or 300RUM to try and keep up with my mate on the longrange plates as my SAUM is running out off puff at distance

there is a tidy Husqvarna 9.3x62 listed on trademe at the moment.
Dies and cases also.
Nothing to do with me.

Yeah looks tidy enough but I read it as he will make dies etc availibe at an extra after rifle sold, eg at an extra cost, could be wrong though
It's not really a big bore either is it, more medium I would have thought.

I sort of hope without being nasty that he doesn't get that price for the bare rifle as it then starts putting those older huskys out of reach for a lot of folk, whereas at the moment 900- 1k for a pretty good one say the 1640 is fair, earlier with the original Mauser FN action somewhat cheaper , well that's what I think.

I agree Jakewire. I have seen them for sale around $600-800 for that exact rifle.

I see you can get a new Sauer 100 for about $1200.

Might be the go.

Anyone know how they perform in a short 16-18" barrel
