Savage 9.3x62

[AZDAVE]

I built this savage in 9.3x62 to test and see if I like the calibre, as with other posts I have made you all know that this is and the 74R are my favourite mid bores. Since I have a custom I built and a CZ 550FS I decided to sell this one so someone can try an inexpensive rifle in a great calibre. I had the barrel installed in a standard manner vs the savage barrel nut. Like most savages it in very accurate, it is in a camo Tupperware kinda stock but that is easy to change. Asking $425. Thank you for looking.

Hello, do you still have this rifle for sale ?

Thanks !

 

[AZDAVE]

Yes it is still available.

 

[mrhumble]

Thanks, I had, and foolishly sold, one of the Euro export only ones with the orange stock.

Can you tell me:

whose barrel is it ?
Barrel length ?
Barrel contour ?
iron sights ?

Thanks, Larry

 

[AZDAVE]

The barrel is a McGowen match.
21 in Lite sporter profile (Kinda like you would find on a CZ full stock)
There are no irons on it.

I had the gunsmith put the barrel on like it was a rem 700 (IE No barrel nut)

I have shot priv and hornaday factory and reloads through it. Reloads I was in the 3/4 in range, hornaday 1 -1/14 and priv 1 3/8ish 5 shot groups.

Thanks, two more:

Weight ?
Balance point ?

My old one:



Thanks, Larry

 

[AZDAVE]

I have never weight it but my guess based on feel it is 7LBs or a few oz's more. It balances between the hands. It started life as a 110 30/06 that the crown was bad and it shot bad so I got it from a shop for a good price. I did my first safari with a TC encore in 9.3x74 and was just impressed with the 9.3's and di some research on the bolt action equivalent so I ordered a barrel and a reamer and had my gunsmith put one together for me to see how I like it or not. Well to say that this 9.3x74 is my favourite double rifle and the 9.3x62 has become my favourite mid bore in a bolt gun. To the point that my 338WM and 375H&H have only been out of the safe and to the range once in the last 3 years. Since then I bought a CZ 550 full stock and built a custom mauser on a parker hale action. So I decided to sell this one to someone that would have fun with it and enjoy and old classic African calibre.

Still got the gun for sale

I plan to make it to Africa next year.Have already got it lined up for plains game. I have a Husqvarna in 9.3x62 that I plan to take. It was glass bedded today. I bought a 9.3x57 to rechamber into a 62,but once it arrived I decided to leave it as it was. Kinda like to have another 62. Are you a FFL dealer or have access to one near you. What is the best price for the rifle.

 

[AZDAVE]

I could go $400 and my local FFL can handle the shipment to your local FFL. I really like the 9.3 both the 62 and the 74R. It is just a great round for all plains game. I have shot everything from Diker to cape eland with my 74R and the 62 when loaded to its potential is just a bit more powerful. The only animal I would question hunting with the 62 is a elephant. I am looking at late next year of 2018 for my next trip.

 

[Randall Brown]

400 includes shipping? My brother went 5 years ago and killed kudu, gemsbuck and the usual plains game. He carried a 7 mm mag. Since then he had a custom 62 built on a CZ receiver. He put in for an elk in Kentucky and killed a GIANT 5x5 with it.Plan on a Wyoming bear hunt in June with the 62 I have.

 

[Randall Brown]

Hey man I didn't realize how late it was. About to get off work. I don't have e-mail at my house so I will no be able to respond until tomorrow after 4 pm.

 

[AZDAVE]

400 includes shipping. I built a custom 62 on a parker hale action after I built this one and decided that I liked the calibre enough invest the money on a custom. There is a pic of my custom in the firearms section of the below 375 area. The 9.3 are my favourite mid-bores. I shoot everything from 17 Fireball to 500 NE in smokeless. 5 cal to 8bore in blackpowder. I have put more rounds down range with 9.3 in the last 4 years than any other cal but 22lr. You will be back at work before I am home from work so I will check for a response after I get home.

@AZDAVE
A very pretty rifle in a good caliber. I'd had my gunsmith do the barrel of my savage Whelen the same as yours plus true up the recoil lug. Mine was on a Stevens 200 that's just a budget savage 110 but I will keep mine it's my go to guns for everything.
