Sharp looking rifle!. As mentioned...the 9,3x62 is a very efficient cartridge. Getting one can result that many rifles in the safe gets unemployed...
9.3x62 MAUSER
- Thread starter CZ
- Start date
I've been waiting for over a year for a left handed Sako Bavarian in 9.3x62.
An uncle had a LH Model 77 stainless laminate in 270 that he offered to me the other day; so it will be getting a King barrel installed and save me waiting for the one LH Sako Bavarian in 9.3 that gets shopped to North America per year, to finally make it my way!
Already have dies, brass and bullets for it!
It won't be much longer now, and I will finally get to use the cartridge on moose like John Barsness, where he quoted my Dad's comment "it kills quick, but doesn't shoot up any meat!" (Nosler Reloading Guide 6)

I have a 1937 Czech Mauser that was in 8x57mm and now is a 9.3x62mm. It shoots 270gn Speer and 286gn Hornady bullets with the same point of impact using H-414, H-4350 and Varget loads. A Boyds laminate thumbhole stock and muzzle brake lessen the recoil, but even without the brake the recoil is nothing like what I would consider to be disruptive. It's a great rifle and is much more accurate than you might think a big cartridge can be.

That would be a lovely rifle, Horsethief. I'd love to see a picture when you get a chance to put it up. I don't find the recoil on this particular cartridge to be excessive, depending on the stock, of course. Great all around cartridge.
