That is why I bought my Vortex Crossfire II 3x12, Has that lower power with a wide view to get on target faster, just keep it on 3 to 4 setting and the turret adjustment to the zero at 200 yards at 100 yards will be 1.5 inches high , and using the 9.3x62mm for the terrain I would be hunting in...

9.3x62mm Mauser with Vortex Crossfire II , 3x12 56mm

I was using Nolser Trophy Grade , 250 grain Accubond's on that Elk I can attest to its capabilities.

Was wondering what is the max effective range for 30-06 over under rifle , or for that matter 30 call or above.

I originally wanted to use the Norma 230 grain Ecostrike but I could not find the ammo anywhere and one source said it is no longer being made or shipped to the US. Nightforce scopes are awesome much better then what I use for that nail drive longer range shots. I wish to go to Africa , budget...

Details : Alpine AZ , unit 27 , 7 Minutes of Daylight left 2nd day of a 6 day season, Bull moved out of the tree line about 300 yards, a few cowl calls and the Bully came in at 130 yard took the shot with a Mauser Action 9.3x62 using Nolser Trophy Grade 250 grain Accubond , went clean through...

I use the Vortex Crossfire II , 3x12-56mm great scope for low light and a really wide field of view with a red dot reticle , comes with a lifetime warranty and sells for around 370 American. Mine is on a Zastava M70 Mauser action 9.3x62, Brought this nice Elk down less then 2 weeks ago.

Oh yes , this was my first take down with the 9,3x62 just a couple weeks ago. Used Nolser Trophy Grade ammo 250 grain Accutips

I think we bought our rifles from the same person , Allan is a great guy but the 9.3x62 Zastava I got was a beautiful left hander :)

Well just seems it is out of reach then , on a more limited income. Stick with bolt actions then. Wish there was a company that made a affordable double rifle.

The rounds you mentioned above are impossible to re-bore or are you saying it is not wise to re-bore to 30-06 , it is darn close to 9.3x62 smith said it is possible don't get it confused with 9.3x74r that is not possible at all.

Have a friend wanting to sell his OU 30-06 Merkel , I told him I was looking for one in 9.3x62 . He went on to say that most 30-06 can be rechambered for the 9.3x62 cal, Would this actually be possible for this rifle. Thanks for any thoughts.

Soooo wish I could find a 9.3x62 Over under Rifle , most of the Doubles I have found have been well way out of budget, I hear Merkel is the lower end of the scale, get to many people respondeing with 9.3x74r guns I have no interest in lol.

Hmmm maybe I am wrong here but if you look at the ballistics info for each round made by Norma for 9.3x62 the 230 grain Ecostrike outperforms most of there standard round like the Oryx 286 grain in both Ballistic Coef and hitting power or am I missing something here. That is why the PH...

Most of those heavy weight bullets are great , I am sure getting into Dangerous game, for just plains game like what I was going for the PH said in 9.3x62 a 220 to 250 grain bullet would suffice.
