That is why I bought my Vortex Crossfire II 3x12, Has that lower power with a wide view to get on target faster, just keep it on 3 to 4 setting and the turret adjustment to the zero at 200 yards at 100 yards will be 1.5 inches high , and using the 9.3x62mm for the terrain I would be hunting in...

9.3x62mm Mauser with Vortex Crossfire II , 3x12 56mm

I was using Nolser Trophy Grade , 250 grain Accubond's on that Elk I can attest to its capabilities.

Was wondering what is the max effective range for 30-06 over under rifle , or for that matter 30 call or above.

I originally wanted to use the Norma 230 grain Ecostrike but I could not find the ammo anywhere and one source said it is no longer being made or shipped to the US. Nightforce scopes are awesome much better then what I use for that nail drive longer range shots. I wish to go to Africa , budget...

Details : Alpine AZ , unit 27 , 7 Minutes of Daylight left 2nd day of a 6 day season, Bull moved out of the tree line about 300 yards, a few cowl calls and the Bully came in at 130 yard took the shot with a Mauser Action 9.3x62 using Nolser Trophy Grade 250 grain Accubond , went clean through...

I use the Vortex Crossfire II , 3x12-56mm great scope for low light and a really wide field of view with a red dot reticle , comes with a lifetime warranty and sells for around 370 American. Mine is on a Zastava M70 Mauser action 9.3x62, Brought this nice Elk down less then 2 weeks ago.

Oh yes , this was my first take down with the 9,3x62 just a couple weeks ago. Used Nolser Trophy Grade ammo 250 grain Accutips

I think we bought our rifles from the same person , Allan is a great guy but the 9.3x62 Zastava I got was a beautiful left hander :)

Well just seems it is out of reach then , on a more limited income. Stick with bolt actions then. Wish there was a company that made a affordable double rifle.

The rounds you mentioned above are impossible to re-bore or are you saying it is not wise to re-bore to 30-06 , it is darn close to 9.3x62 smith said it is possible don't get it confused with 9.3x74r that is not possible at all.

Have a friend wanting to sell his OU 30-06 Merkel , I told him I was looking for one in 9.3x62 . He went on to say that most 30-06 can be rechambered for the 9.3x62 cal, Would this actually be possible for this rifle. Thanks for any thoughts.

Soooo wish I could find a 9.3x62 Over under Rifle , most of the Doubles I have found have been well way out of budget, I hear Merkel is the lower end of the scale, get to many people respondeing with 9.3x74r guns I have no interest in lol.

Hmmm maybe I am wrong here but if you look at the ballistics info for each round made by Norma for 9.3x62 the 230 grain Ecostrike outperforms most of there standard round like the Oryx 286 grain in both Ballistic Coef and hitting power or am I missing something here. That is why the PH...

Most of those heavy weight bullets are great , I am sure getting into Dangerous game, for just plains game like what I was going for the PH said in 9.3x62 a 220 to 250 grain bullet would suffice.

When I usually go hunting I follow a old rule my Father set down , to stay in range of 1 ton of energy when a bullet hits for a 300 Win Mag allot of rounds can do this out to 500 yards no worries but not suited for overly thick skinned game or heavier PG in Africa, the 9.3x62 with 2 or 3...

I like that walnut , here is the blank I am having worked on for the 300 Winchester mag, a Extreme Dark Striped Bastogne Walnut. Second one down you may have seen it already.

Oh ye we all have our addictions , for improving our passions .

Take a look at the work Chad does for Red Desert Rifles despite the name makes beautiful shotgun stocks

Hello all wanted to just list 2 great companies for getting the stock of your dreams made, 1. This mans selection of wood stock blanks is just amazing if you want something truly unique you should see what he has to offer, send hi a Email to see far more then what is on his standard page...

I would like to but I feel more comfortable taking the Muzzle break.

Was just toying s around with some Ballistics stuff for the 9.3x62 Mauser Using a Hornandy load Ballistic Coefficient: 0.4 Bullet Weight: 286 gr Initial Velocity: 2360 fps Sight Height : 1.5 in Zeroed in at 250 yards will put you in that close to magic zone 4 inch target area, +4.3 Inches...

Funny I was looking at Midway for different ammo choices this morning as well , I have used Remington Ammunition since some of my first hunting trips

Well I have not actually been hunting in some time due to physical limitations I am probably just second guessing myself and will stick with the PH advice on ammo. I would love to take my 30-06 in this hunt but it is a M1 Garand and unless my info is wrong you cant hunt in the RSA with...

I would happily look into using the TSX for the 300 WM problem is they don't make a cartridge for the 300 WM they only have TTSX the ones you advised against, an I do not reload ammunition. I thought the Woodliegh being a soft tip with a lower velocity would be a ideal round compared to...

I will practice whenever I get the Chance my local range in AZ is some distance but I usually get to it twice a month, but the heat is just about to soar, I will buy some sticks from Cabelas and work on my stand shooting. But I think the little setup you have is pretty cool.

Well that is if the 9.3x62 is on the table listening to what the PH said he seemed to strongly recommend for me the 300 WM over the 9.3x62. The Average Velocity of the Norma Bodstrike at 100 yard with my 26 inch barrel on the 300 WM I have is Veelocity 3100 Energy 3900 , 200 yards...

So after speaking with the PH , the area is rolling hill sweeping out into open country , dotted open areas with scattered thick bush. Average range on most shots 100 to 200 yards. He said using a Muzzle break is not a problem and glad I notified him early, so at this point knowing I have...

The whole wonderful benefit in planning is I have a year to do it.

Ty for the Advice well noted, yes I am a good enough marksman to maintain a 4 inch group. I will be hunting in in the Waterberg Mountains of South Africa’s Limpopo Province. If you hve had any experience in the regoin please pass on your thoughts.

I can see your point , the 300 WM as I use it does seem to drive holes in things, my normal load I use here in the U.S. is the 180 grain Norma Bondstrike, honestly with the 9.3x62 I might even go old school with round nose ammunition but the Barnes you mentioned works great to :) ...

I do see the value of the 9.3x62 as well for shooting up to 300 yards and finding a 286 grain from these cartridge companies I was looking at are made by Norma Eco Strike or Kalahari, Nolser Trophy Grade and Barnes. The reason I mentioned the 240 grain 300 WM is I have used that round with...

Seems I may just go with my 300 WM, Yes it is fitted with a Muzzle Brake , letting the PH know well ahead of time, using a 240 Grain Woodleigh Weldcore JSP Ammunition should be enough for anything I am hunting with a well aimed shot.

Yes that is the price but I wanted something really special, you have only seen a little bit of his stock, I am having a dream rifle put together. Even the person I am having the custom work done took a look at it as was like WOW to , he has more affordable blanks as well.

@PARA45 Yeah a lovely bit of Bastogne Walnut , going all out on that rifle. Look up Cecil Fredi he has some of the most lovely stock blanks.

. I think I can manage the recoil of a 9.3x62 will have a Pacmhyer recoil pad on it see how it handles, from there might consider a Mercury system or just doule up with a Limbsaver over the recoil pad there are options.

Yes Allan had a few , and in many calibers. He is a lefty and thanks he makes it easy for other Lefty's to find good firearms.

Would a 375 H&H Muzzle break work on a 9.3x62 Mauser , seems if I had to get a muzzle break for the 9.3 may have to order it from Europe.

Since finding the listing from Allan on Gun Broker 2 days ago I have contacted him and put a deposit down on the 9.3x62 Mauser :) . Look forward to getting it , will become my close up rifle 300 to 400 Yard use at Max. As for the recoil already asked a couple people if it really requires it...

Will be taking the Muzzle Break then most likely as a personal choice , the type I use makes the 300 WM rifle feel like a 243 , when the custom stock is done will help even further, will have a Pachmyer recoil pad to be made from Bastogne Walnut a cross between Claro and English Walnut and known...

Good one and yes I am making coffee to , but I am sure you have heard the old phrase, Hunters make better lovers, they go deeper into the bush , shoot often and eat what they shoot. If this offends anyone it is my poor sense fo humor.

Well I will give a more detailed reason for wanting the 9.3x62 mauser, is one of my ancestors before coming to the US lived in the RSA, in Natal and w as involved in the Boer wars, I don't believe it can be fired but I have his Mauser rifle still it hangs above the mantle in my home...

I really wish to thank you all for the wonderful advice , looking into the Courtney Boots, I found out that under current laws I would not be able to travel with the suppressor on the 300 Winchester mag outside of the U.S. , but that leaves me with dealing with the recoil and would most...

Oj yes I have fired the 300 Win Mag without the Supressor can handle the recoil. I just have never Fired the 9.3x62 I would deffinately fire it now before deciding if the recoil needs to be worked on, Ty I know I may have to go with something heavier for Eland but I normally use: Norma...

the TBAC Ultra 9CB , is a dual purpose system a recoil brake shrouded in the silencer

the biggest I have currently is a 300 Winchester Mag.
