New lipsey's ruger alaskan bush rifle in 9.3x62 and 35 whelen

[spike.t]

 

[Ruraldoc]

Got one coming in 9.3x62.

If I could afford it, I would get a second in 35 Whelen.

I will use the 9.3 with 250-286 grain bullets, including solids which are available for it. Perfect for big bears and plains game as well as Buffalo.

The Whelen in my mind shines with 200-250 grain bullets. A better choice for deer or more open country.

Handloading for either extends its versatility with heavier bullets in the Whelen plus lighter ones in the 9.3x62.

May have to sell some other stuff to get that Whelen if I really like the 9.3 version.

Yeah I like the 9.3x62 and 9.3x74r...only have a x62 now...used it quite a bit over the years....this looks nice especially with the drop belly mag extension....if you don't mind me asking what price are they asking over there?.....

I was quoted 1400 USD in Alabama in the USA.

Lipsey’s MSRP is listing at $1659 but I see people have gotten a lower quotes. The Alaskan arms extra round floor plates are $279.99

 

[ThreeJacks]

There is one of each on GB, they are priced at $1995. This seller is always way over list price.

I’m going to try and find one and float & glass bed the barrel…(and yes thread and cap the barrel too, before I start a war, for practice not the field

 

[Hedge774]

Yep. And my first African was 1095.00 ten or so years ago. $1400 isn't that big a jump...

Looking forward to pics and review!

That 9.3 looks right handy. Wish I could justify two.

Personal peccadillo- if you’re going to showcase a rifle, and the factory hasn’t done it, take a few minutes and time the cross-bolts. Drives me crazy to see improperly oriented fasteners.

I saw this rifle in 9.3x62 and 35 Whelen at local gun shop for $1395. PM me for info.

 

[Beck]

I am buying one!

Nice....if they managed to get one in over here...think it might be a bit more....

 

[MedRiver]

I modified and rebored a .30-06 years ago to .35 Whelen with a 20” barrel. Would have saved some hassle if these would have been around!

 

[deewayne2003]

Wish they would make the same configuration in 7x57

Nice rifles, handled the 9.3 yesterday, may have to get me one!
