Well I have my first trip to SA coming up in Nov of 2021. I have been waiting for Zastava to release there 9.3x62 Mauser Left Hand Rifle's in the USA. They have been supposed to be released already and after talking with Zastava USA can't get a time frame for them to be sold.
So the option running around in my head is to buy a Left Hand , Remington SPS 30-06 and customize it out the ears. First step have the 24 inch 30-06 barrel Re-bored to 9.3x62 fairly easy conversion, Going to get a custom heavy walnut stock made for it, with a mercury recoil system in the stock. Optics will be a Burris Veracity 2x10x42mm , and top it off with a suppressor OSS HX-QD 338 TI.
Would like peoples opinions on the Build for Plains game hunting. Any advice welcome as well.
Check out Green Sporting Goods (I think that's their name) on gunbroker. If you can't find Green (located in TN), look for Alan McKinney.
I bought a LH Zastava M70 LR Mauser in 9.3x62 from him a couple years ago. He almost always has LH 9.3x62, 6.5x55, and 375 H&H in stock.
Alan's a good guy. I think once the Wuhan Virus stuff settles down, I'm going to replace the factory stock with a Boyd's (yeah, they actually make a LH M70 Zastava stock).
