Beautiful piece of work! Enjoy every moment with it!

Ralf built my first semi custom Mauser on a 1938 Berlin Action,in 9.3x62, 52 cm Heym Match barrel, with a beutiful piece of birds eye maple.

these were my 2 lines of thought as well. Black bears are not terribly hard to kill, a 458 cal bullet at anything above 1400 fps and under 50y is not unreasonable. If the 458 gun is heavy and she can handle the weight, that is good. A light 308 may kick a lot harder. But as said by others...

no, I had new Heym barrels reamed. I never had a 9.3x64... dream of my youth, but not that practical. powder capacity of the 9.3CAN is about 5-8 gr more, speed is the same, but Hornady brass is quite soft, so for all practical purposes the 2 cartridges do the same.

Meindl are German, as are Hanwag and Reck. Germany is lucky that a lot of the small, semi custom shoemakers have survived and still make well crafted lines of shoes ( often in addition to very commercialized lines that they need for volume and economic well being. You can still get double...

this would be pretty close to a classic summer boot https://meindl.de/product/sonnblick-en/?lang=en

+++ for Meindl, should be ok to get in Sweden. My first pair of Kiruna's is still going after 14 years of abuse. these should fit the bill: https://meindlusa.com/collections/hunting/products/euro-light-hunter-uninsulated

just saw this thread was dormant for 3+ years....

I had a 9.3x375 made (AKA 9.3 Canadienne), as I could not get brass for a 9.3x64. Reamer from PTG, dies from Hornady, simple neck down procedure to make Ammo, using Hornady brass in either 375 or 416 denomination. 2 guns were made one on an AboltIII/300WM, one on an FN Mauser, both with Heym...

very difficult to get anything ammunition related across the border. Fortunately 9.3 are reasonably popular here.

try-x-reload.com, fast service and they have what you need. there also is a good stash of 9.3 bullets in my reloading room on the north island to feed my 9.3s ...which range do you go to in Victoria?

look what Garmin has coming, then you know why ladradars are on sale everywhere.

just reading through the thread, I have always been fascinated by best guns, among other reasons, because my artistic fine motor skills are next to nil. If I were to put the money down for a gun like that, I think I would want the experience, going to Hamburg, getting the stock fitted, have...

cant believe this post is 5 years old now. 22" Heym barrel for me. I never managed to exceed 9.3x64 speed with my gun.

Because I like my left hand intact, this is why barrel bands were invented.

I have the Safari version in 416 R, getting rid of the front swivel sling is really important, a Leupold V6 1-6 works well for me. double check the bedding and have the recoil lug at least bedded, stock can crack if anything is loose. your guns lugs are already backed up. Have fun!

Hicks accurizer has worked well for a friend of mine.I have a heavy barrel 6.5x284 Norma which shot inconsistently. It had this system (number 3) installed and , whenI tightened it turned the gun from so-so to a 1/2 moa shooter https://www.riflemagazine.com/magazine/PDF/ri51partial.pdf

I have the very same rifle but with the woodstock/Safari edition. In terms of the stabilizing of the bullet: I have loads with 36 gr Trailboss at 1400 fps that stabilize the 400 gr Hornady just fine ( pest load), so your load should be ok. The twist is 1: 16.5 Woodleighs should be at least 2 mm...

yes, ptg

me too, but not loading it that hot. 286 gr Nosler PT at 2730 fps, Accubonds at 2840. On an FN Mauser.

thank you for all the kind welcome, I will probably be a fly on the wall for a while until I really find a lot of time. But there are still so many things to do in Northern Canada! Will read Bell, Ruark and other classics and wait for the right time!

Namibia is definitely on my list I even have some cousins of my grandma still around Windhuk. I remember the leopard skin I admired on my great-grandfathers wall that was taken there (think that is what got me into hunting, I was an impressionable 3 year old).

Hi, I have hunted in Marocco for pigs in the remote past ( 1980s) otherwise Europe, US and Canada. I reload for most of my guns, mostly for a 416 Rigby, several 9.3s, an 8x68 and varmint guns. I very much enjoy bird hunting with my lab and try to get my annual moose into the freezer ( like...

I just read through this thread as I grew up with 9.3 guns ( which were the big boy's toys), so my 1st 9.3 was a custom 9.3x62 built on a DWM Berlin action. I was always turned off by the lack of available 9.3x64 brass although I wanted one badly so I began wondering about a 9.3 wildcat based on...

expat european, living in CAN now for over 20 years, fishing and hunting and looking forward to retirement! the health care system here is wearing you out when you work within it!
