Beautiful Rifle Witold and a very good article:

The veb is very good article by 9,3 x 62 - " Otto Bocks Cartridge - African Expedition Magazine".

My own 9,3x62 is a Husqvarna 640 built on an FN commercial action. I have a .275 in the works also, the action is a 1908 Brazilian M98. Now if I only had a .404 .....

Kostelecky sounds like a Czech last name. But most likely the gunsmith's as it looks like it was rebarelled (.250 Savage caliber rifles were not produced by any of the Czech/Polish factories as far as I know).

i have recently purchased a rifle that is close to your ideal, a Brno ZKK600 fitted with a ZG47 barrel in 9.3x62. I hope it will become my ideal versatile hunting rifle, because I did own a ZG47 in 30-06 and loved the construction, the engineering and the finish, but it did not fit me. This new rifle came with a poorly fitted aftermarket stock, so it is going to be a custom rifle stock project that I hope will be the best of all - a good Czech action ( not quite as good as a ZG47) and excellent barrel, in a wonderful caliber, and custom fitted to me. Should be a fun project.

Funny. I have a 9.3 and like it so much I'm thinking of a project. I was considering a ZG47 as the base for one. I also saw a very nice but expensive Ralf Martini custom built on Brno Model 21 in 9.3x64. That actually got me thinking. Keep us posted.
