Thread: Who's Taking their 9.3 Mauser For the Roar?

That was disappointing John,
If I had a rifle as nice as that I wouldg be breaking my neck to get out in the bush with it, some of the less aggressive areas mind.
GPM.

Disappointing? I will be taking this one - I was asking who else will be taking theirs....I know there are people on here who have them. I am going to drag her through hell in search of the biggest stag on earth. A stag of legend. Of mythic status. And then I am going to shoot it with a 286 grain round nose bullet.

I shot a big spiker with mine five or six years ago. Bullet went behind ribs on the left side , clipped the heard and out on the front of the right shoulder. Because I shot while he was jumping away , his muscles sealed back the holes and there was never any drop of blood to be found. He traveled 30 m before collapsing.

Neat one, even though ive only fired a few shots from a 9.3 its a favorite of mine.
This roar i will be shooting a 338/06 imp. Last week two critters died from a 250gr partition

Nice. My friend has a .338-06 and I shot it a bit. He shot a very good stag with one. I always thought of getting one done, then I wanted to go up to a .35 Whelen and found someone who had a reamer, then I discovered the 9.3x62 and I just had to have one.

Mine went out last year but we encountered nothing. We may try again this year on one trip to a spot where last year a mate got an 8 pointer with his 16 gauge.

I feel inadequate, x57 seems so much smaller.
But, I hear it is how you use it....

If I had one I'd give it crack, but man, carting the bloody base plate around everywhere would get old.

Greetings,
I was refering to the disappointing responce to your post, now rectified.
GPM.

Mine is a x57, more than enough to take any close roaring stag.

I would dearly like one of those graceful little Husqvarna 146's in 9.3x57, and hopefully I could still shoot it with open sights. But they never come up at the same time I have rifle money.

@JohnDuxbury
I have one
You'd hate it
It's all pointy and bangy and stuff
But it goes well....I mean horribly
You'd hate it

I have a x64 but I can't find a bolt for it, so it won't even go bang.
Feeling so inadequate that I have a H and H equivalent on the way.

What sort of bolt do you need?
