Bonjour,

Je tire principalement avec du 9,3x62 — c'est mon calibre préféré.
Voici quelques équipements qui se marient parfaitement avec ce calibre et qui contribuent à perpétuer sa réputation.
- Un ZG 47 modifié, avec un raccourci de canon, une rehausse de chasse brasée, un support de lunette pivotante soudée et un anneau de grenadier soudé au canon comme un fusil africain.
- Sauer S90
- Carabine Sauer 202 Take Down à deux canons
-Heym SR30
-Et un fusil de chasse Drilling 2x9,3, chambré pour des cartouches de calibre 74R et 20G, d'une qualité exceptionnelle
Triple verrouillage, les principaux étant alignés avec l'axe de chaque canon rayé, plaque de couche amovible, première détente pour les balles, seconde pour les cartouches de 20 g. Largeur du canon à la bouche Inférieure à 30 mm.
Tous ces jouets sont une tentation pour les sangliers ; nous sommes envahis — plus de 900 000 ont été recensés l'an dernier.
Amusez-vous bien et bonne chasse à tous !

Je ne peux pas vous envoyer de photo du Sauer S90 car, pour des raisons de sécurité, toutes mes armes à feu sont entreposées chez deux armuriers ; je n'ai aucune arme à feu chez moi.
Je vais essayer de vous en envoyer un.
L'Express I est un Mathelon

you might have to get a different front sight blade depending if itis low orhigh. no big deal NECG or maybe Ruger is taking care of it

NECG has discontinued their post front sight blade. Was looking to buy one for a "retro Scout rifle" I built on a Remington 660 and after going to their website found it was no longer available.

 

[Longwalker]

And the other three guns are? Nice collection
Sako 85 - .338 or .375?
Winchester model 70?
I have no clue on the double

Sako Kodiak .375 H&H. Wonderful rifle.
Win. M70 Alaskan .375 H&H that I got rid of due to very disappointing problems with the main spring / striker and misfires.
Merkel 140AE .450-400 3" Nitro Express that I used to hunt some large game at home and a couple of Cape Buffalo in Africa.

That is the one problem with mine - the scope base holes are off center to the right by maybe .15, and it's a low front sight. With NECG, I had to drift the front sight to the right. With the precision sight, there's enough elevation adjustment that I'm OK, but with the low hunting aperture, with it all the way to the bottom, I'm still high at 100 by 6 or 8". Shoots like a champ otherwise.

Lots of threads here on "show us your".........hunting knife/double rifle/shotgun/hammer gun. How about showing your 9.3x62. I don't have one to post but would like to see what models, custom or not, forum member have and enjoy. I'm thinking of going that route and need some "eye candy"!!

@thoma018
What for you need a 9.3X62 fer.
What y'all need is a 35 Whelen. Does everything the 9.3 does just ain't legal for DG unfortunately.

A pic of when I was cutting my Pelican to fit.

Husky 640 (FN) action, 25" Douglas barrel in Mauser Model A profile (which I like a great deal), B&C Mauser stock, Recknagel 3-pos safety, custom bases to correct poorly drilled scope holes, Leupold 1.75 x 6. Removeable Talley peep as well.

I shoot NorthFork 286 in Lapua brass with Ramshot Big Game and get 2505 fps.

It does need a trigger though...

I trigger on any rifle is a good idea. It makes them go bang/ boom better.
Sorry couldn't resist as I'm laying in bed with an ice pack on my knee after physical therapy and am bored.

In about 7 months I'm headed back to Africa to finally have my dream hunt, for a buffalo! After much research and load development I'll be taking my 9.3X62. Swift A-Frames for softs and Woodleigh Hydro solids. Both chronograph at 2400fps from a 22 inch barrel and shoot to same point of aim. The 9.3X62 has been used to take buffalo since 1905. Is it a stopping rifle? No, but proper shot placement is everything. Screw up that first shot and things get very intense very quickly to say the least.

@Rick HOlbert
An easy fix my good friend ( no I'm not going to say get a Whelen)
Don't screw the pooch on the first shot.
Shoot it like you only have one shot and make it count.

I cannot recommend a trip on Buff with a 9,3x62 for a "dream hunt".
It's always the argument, that the 9,3 was actually created for Big Game. But that's not true.
It was designed for the poor man (mostly farmers), who needed a gun for everything out there in the african wide open to fill the pot, and/or possibly being saved from getting eaten or trampled to death from african nature. It was the absolut minimum for the worst maximum.
Those guys, buying in these days a 9,3, mostly didn't have the funds, to buy Rigby, Purdy or W&R!
I'm sure, otherwise they would have.
And, 9,3 was for sure better than the 7x57 in military carbins, which were earlier the most common used gun around there.

Now things are a bit different. Today the buffalo herds know exactly what is going on, if perceiveing oversea after shave! That brings up adrenalin level in the blood of those black monsters, and as I experienced myself, that stirrs up the pott for unbelievable things, which will happen, if that shot You made, is even on the right spot. Those buffs are the black version of superman. If wounded, double that! Even with a torn apart heart, those buffs don't stop, if warmed up really good.
Art Alphin from A-Square said it already years ago: Use always enough gun!

My experience is, that two procedures will be most successful:
1. Use a real big bullet to let loose Your buff so much blood, that the adrenalin can't circulate anymore or
2. Shoot him in the head for instant kill. Which is another challenge.

You will learn, that shooting at a buff even full broad side is a tricky thing, better forget about the headshot and use really big bullets to do the more promising blood-run-empty-trick!
My personal advise would be minimum .416 upwards, better .458 settle. Remember, You are planing a "dream hunt" ?

@Rosch
I'm sure @Rick HOlbert will do just fine and dandy with his itty bitty little 9.3.
After all he is a good ol southern Cajun boy and man he can shoot.
His idea is if the game is to big don't worry about the gun just be ready and gt a bigger pot.
I'm sure he will be able to turn that buff into a good Cajun Gumbo with his 9.3.
Or die trying.
