Osa Johnson's 9.3x62

Yep, I have a CZ 550 Classic in 9.3x62.

Close but no cigar.

That's what I have (and I used way back in 2005). At least I can say that both Osa and I have used the 9.3x62 cartridge in Africa. I kind of like that idea (even if it is just a very small connection with her).

I already have a BRNO ZKK 600 9,3X62 made in 1967. Close but not the same as a Mauser like Bob's one...

Well, I don't think of the Mauser as being mine. It's still Osa's rifle in my mind. I'm just holding on to it for her (so to speak) until I donate it to the Safari Museum in Chanute, Kansas. I think the rifle needs to go back home and be with Osa. (She and Martin are buried in Chanute.)

Cheers! Bob F.

So what rifle did Martin prefer?

Martin was behind the camera more than a rifle
