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.

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

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.

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

I meant 9.3x57....

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

Hi all
This thread has just pushed me to decide to take my Husky 9.3x57 in on our annual roar trip to the Kawekas in April. It is still open sights and will use for bush hunting and splitting firewood. I will also have the 284 Win as well for the more open areas. Will report back the results, I once waited for 20 odd minutes to get three goats lined up at about 40m, and the bullet (286 Lapua) went through all three and displaced a respectable divot, the goats all got wobbly and fell over within a few metres. This would most likely be unethical to some. but saved on projectiles and provided a conclusion to a scientific experiment about the properties of the projectile.

Cheers
