Idaho Sharpshooterthink of it as a 35 Whelen on steroids. My little FS has proven to be a great hunting rifle.
Like the H&H (both) it has that "just right" balance of bullet velocity and speed, and a great selection of good hunting bullets in many weights.
It just works!

Jimmy P Coaltrainhow does the 9.3 x 62 compare to the 9.3 x 74? I see Ruger offers that in their #1.

huskyThe 9,3x74R are just as fine cartridge as the 9,3x62 and has the same performance!
