9.3x62

[112Savage]

I don’t know if these images were set up simply to capture shots of the gun or if you were actually hunting and took them on a whim but my first thought was “This chap hunts whistle pigs with a 9.3? Nice!” Probably not what you were doing but, growing up hunting groundhogs here in PA, I associated the greenery and setting with that activity.

I will use almost any rifle on a groundhog. This was a 100 yd shoot to test the expansion of the then new 258gr Hammer Hunter bullet that I had Steve and Brian design.

I’ve shot prairie dogs with a 7x57 and a .54 cal front stuffer.

Hi 112,

Well done!!! The constant practice with our rifle is imperative! And out of the range bench!
By the way, yesterday I went to the range to check the regulación of the peep sight of my ZKK. I touch the elevation screw and end with the rifle sighted dead on at 100 m with PRVI bullets at 2450 f/s. Done!

So you were hunting groundhogs with your 9.3 when you took the pics I initially commented on?

I used to hunt groundhogs with shotgun slugs from my Ithica deerslayer shotgun.

The original picture was a different day hunting. I used that rifle on everything except turkeys.

Okay everyone, as usual all of you are killing me!!! The 9.3X62 is the one Africa Caliber I feel like I have never owned. I am getting tempted to buy one but fortunately cannot find one!

 

[Hedge774]

Ok. Some kind soul please help this poor man find a rifle!

They have the Field Ethos 9.3x62 on a Sauer action…..shot one last Saturday…was a demo rifle so many had shot before I got to it but notable when I shot the 2nd shot the front sight fell off…Nice looking and handling rifle but the front sight should stay stationary…..

here you go 4 different Mauser rifles in stock and new the company is Euro Optic tell them you are a member of African and you will get a better price than what is listed

 

[Hedge774]

Got it as an x57. No issues at this point, except I want to buy more of them for fun projects!

I read yesterday that you could not make a 9.3x57 to a 9.3x62. Is that true? There seem to be plenty of 9.3x57's out there to re-barrel!

If you’re going to rebarrel a rifle, any 30/06 or 270 action will work. May as well start with a good modern action.
Maybe you could get a 9.3x57 rechambered, but not sure how long those actions are.

Here is my RJ Renner Old African Custom in 9.3x62. It’s only shot paper, but it handles like a shotgun.

My husqvarna model 146 was a 9.3x57 - had the gunsmith open the chamber up to 9.3x62 with no issues - yes it can be easily done.

This is exactly what I had done. 9.3x57 rechambered to 9.3x62. These husqy barrels are labeled “9.3”, so I don’t have it restamped.
