Recommendation for a good performing 9.3X62?

[Hyde Hunter]

I bought a Sauer 100 a few weeks ago and like how it feels and handles, the hard rubber pad and 14.5 LOP sucks which is being corrected now. the trigger is great adjusted to 2.2 pounds.. the only thing I wish would be a longer magazine to seat bullets longer. but it is a neat trim rifle, just wish I could take it to Africa in 8 days but permit has already been approved

Does yours have a wood stock?
As posted above, I like mine a lot including the LOP but looking at he synth stock not sure how it could be shortened?

You could shorten it by buying a wood stock.

Yes, of course. But I don't want one. I like the synthetic stock I have.
My question was just in regards to how a synthetic stock could be shortened. Not sure it can be, so my surmise was that the previous post involved a wood stock.

Therein lies the problem with synthetic stocks.

True enough, among other things. They do have their advantages as well.

yes wood stock, call Blaser in Texas they are the factory warranty for Sauer at 210-377-2527 they were quite responsive to my questions I bet you could cut the stock then JB weld a new pad on

Thanks. I do not want mine cut. I like it as-is but was wondering about the technical end for others I know.
Again, thanks.

Look at Simson LTD they sometimes have a ZG 47 in 9.3x62 and I think they had a type B Mauser also.

Yes it can be done. I have had several shortened.

I picked up a Steyr Clii a few years ago after reading good reviews. It feels great on the shoulder and has everything to make it a wonderful African rifle. Still haven’t shot it which is probably the biggest crime.

Here are the available options in the USA.

Steyr
Blaser
Sauer
Mauser
Heym
Sako
Merkel
Krieghoff

Used
Ruger
CZ
Husqvarna

Easy rebarrel
M70
M700 or clone

 

[Odinsraven]

Also consider Husqvarna if you can find one in your neck of the woods.

they are very decent !

Keeping things strictly limited to currently manufactured choices, my recommendations are:
1) Voere Model 2165
2) Joh. Rigby & Co. Highland Stalker
3) Mauser M98 Diplomat
4) Zastava M70

The first three can be taken to the bush straight out of the box. The last one needs a little tuning up by a good gunsmith.

This is my favorite one.

I like both of my rifles in 9.3x62, a CZ 550 American and a Steyr SM12.

For the money, it’s hard to beat the CZ 550, but if you can swing it, the new Steyrs are incredible rifles.

My Steyr shoots incredible groups and has shot every Bullet weight from 185 grains to 286 to the same point of impact at 100 yards.

Mine has factory fiber optic sights which were perfectly zeroed from the factory.

Using Talley QD bases and rings, I can take the scope off in a few seconds and have a perfect set of high visibility sights ready to go.

Get one of the new Steyrs with the aforementioned sights and you are ready almost anything.
