New member here. I signed up mainly because I really like Mauser style sporter rifles and practical shooting. My internet searches would lead me here and I’ve enjoyed reading the intelligent and polite conversations.
I just picked up an NOS CZ550 Full stock with the 3 position safety in 9.3x62. I don’t really need a 9.3 but the caliber seemed to match the style of the rifle. (Manlicher Schoenauer fan as well) I could probably shoot the ever increasing pest hogs that we have down here in SWLA. I just shot it a few days ago with the Prvi 286 grain and it was all in the black at 75 meters. I needed the brass to reload. I’m sure it will improve with better ammunition and a scope. I used sticks and not the bench since the bench at our personal range puts you too low and greatly exaggerates felt recoil. I intend to put an aperture sight on it and send the stock to RJ Renner for some figuring and a red recoil pad. I may go with the small 1-4 that I use on my FN since the FAL handles well without it although the CZ does too. Great forum here.
