I am really interested in buying one of these 9.3's and using it as my moose gun up here in the NWT of Canada. Presently use a 350 Rem Mag but it is hard to make it work with bullets over 250 grains. If I ever went over to Africa which countries /animals would the 9.3 x 62 be a legal minimum caliber to use?

Any recomendations as to what to house this caliber in. Am thinking of a CZ but would like to know what cfhoices are out their.

According to Ray, the 9.3x62 can be used in most African countries for dangerous game. Obviously, it can be used for all plains game. It is a bush gun for use under 275meters; however, within that limitation, it is one killin' SOB.

CZ makes one in their American series that is suppose to be very nice. You could have a M98 rebarreled which is quite easy since the feed rails are essentially the same as the 8mm and 7mm. You could rebarrel a M70 in 308 or 3006. The least expensive option would be the CZ or rebarreling a M98.

I used the 250 Nosler BT on my last hunt, and it killed very effectively. It is a tough bullet, penetrating a bushbuck at 25yds and leaving an exit wound not much larger than the entry wound. The animal was knocked down by the impact and never got up. Ku-dude
