The gun is long gone, and I don’t have any pictures. But I believe I got it from Euro-optic. It was just a long, small flat 11mm dovetail rail.

Shoot it and see. Most folks aren shooting a .416 more than 100 yards max. It’s not a PG gun really.

Should be able to handle it. They are designed for them as you said. The 9.3x74r is lower pressure than it’s rimless counterpart.

Remember the “BB”caps at the carnival range? Let’s see how many old farts are here

If one were to hit a significant branch of the pulmonary arteries it could certainly happen. However, it’s kinda like shooting an arrow at a huge book-case size map of the USA that has been covered by a sheet and hitting one of the interstate highways.

“Many have been wounded and lost” I am sure is laden with truth. Let me preface this by asserting that I am NOT a bow hunter but I am an authority of what projectiles of any type do to mammalian bodies after practicing forensic pathology, military and civilian, hunting and examining countless...

The 9.3 is “tolerated” due to the long historical usage most notably in former German colonies. The acceptance does not cross over necessarily in former British, Portuguese,Belgian and French colonial possessions. Even today, the 9.3 is quite popular for driven hunts(mostly hogs) in...

No. It is a .366 projectile. Often referred to as a “.375 lite”. With commercial cartridges loaded with 232-300 gr bullets it runs ~3500-3800 f.p.’s. Just shy of 5400 J (3983 fp’s).

9.3x74R because it just does it’s job so darned well.

Bigger critters 7x65R (Blaser K95) 9.3x74R (Blaser K95) .416 Rigby ( Ruger#1) Smaller critters .22 WMR (cheap bolt rifle) .22 Hornet (Blaser BD14) .243 win (Blaser K95)

Did my first hog BD14 drilling trifecta Monday here in FL. Was a bit hesitant re the .22 Hornet.Usually like a .270+ However, with well-aimed base-of-skull shots the results were dramatic and instantaneous. Gonna pick up a single barrel for the little K95. Funny how those bucket lists get longer

I just got one in .308/.22 hornet/20ga. it is a beautiful firearm. Shoots well and well regulated out of the box for hog hunting purposes. Am getting the one with the 9.3x74r in about 6 months. It is a nice bucket list gun.

Ordered in June. But, i was just able to get one in .308/.22 hornet/20 ga at a fair price. It is amazing. Out of the box the two rifle barrels are perfectly regulated at 25 yards (only distance i have shot at so far) which is just fine for FL hogs. i might sell it when the 9.3 arrives

I agree- I did say MATERIALLY better. For virtually all hunting (not 300 yd bullseye shooting) situations they are both great single shots.

Typically not. Generally you get one “large” cal rifle barrel and one “.22-sized “ barrel along with the shotgun.
