9.3x62 or something else??

I really don't get all this rebore focus. The 8x57 and .270 are pretty useful rifles. The 9.3x62 is a wonderful thing and infinitely less bruising than a .416 of any species in the same package. Why not just go buy one? Unlike a decade ago, they are fairly common new or used. Among the modern rifles, I can highly recommend the Sako "Arctos" or Grizzly. It is my favorite bear rifle.
 
I’m new to the 9.3x62. We have a highland stalker in that caliber. I am very impressed with it. In its relatively short life it has taken Cape buffalo, warthog, nyala, wildebeest, eland and whitetail. All with no fuss. My wife plans to use it for her leopard hunt next year.
Be sure to give us a report on how it does on Leopard. I am willing to bet it works a treat.

HI all, here is a Short update on our America trip, I currently in Houston and have 2 more meetings here before movings North toward Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, and from there I will head to Colorado and Idaho,I have been met with great hospitality and friendship, and have met several new and old clients and we are going to book the rest of 2025 season quick and have several dates booked for 2026!
That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
