Looks like I am going to settle for 1.5-6x42 Kahles 'Helia C' with 30mm tube mounted via CZ rings. Nice piece of glass for just North of 800USD. | ||

Sounds perfect to me! I have the Zeiss 1.1-4x24 riding on mine, but a 1.5-6 was my secnd choice ... | |||

Both of the above are really good choices. I opted for the Leopold VX III, 1.75 X 6 in heavy duplex, mounted in Warne QD's. Just didn't see the need to spend more dollars as the LUPY seems quite adequate. It's sitting on a CZ550FS. Larry Sellers SCI Life Member | |||

I got a deal on a Kahles 3-9x42mm, so that is what is on my 9.3x62. I am toying with the idea of going to a Leupold VXIII 1.5-5x24mm circle dot illuminated reticle. | |||

On the 9,3x62s I've used the 2.5-8x Leupold in Africa and Texas, the 1.8-5.5 Zeiss Conquest in Texas and WV, and the 3-9x42 Zeiss Conquest in WV. They all work fine. The Leupy doesn't do as well in low light. I have a 1.5-6x42 S&B on a 9,3x74R Chapuis. Simply wonderful. It is arguably the best scope I own. I saved the 1.5-5x Leupold Illuminated Reticle scope for the .416 Aagaard and .416 Rigby rifles. They're great for fast acquisition on moving targets.

having a 2 x 7 Leupold Shotgun scope on a 338/06 that resides on 4 power all the time... seems a plain old 4 power would be more than enough scope.... some of you guys are evidently a lot more "Glass Status" conscience than I am...

Seafire, great minds think alike. I have a Leupie straight 4 power on my Sako 9.3x62. I also have a couple of the Leupold 2-7 shotgun scopes with the heavy reticle and think they're a great deal. I put them on a 358 Win and 375 H&H. Lou **************** NRA Life Benefactor Member | |||

The 9.3x62 is a pretty versatile tool. Here in Central Europe, it is often used for heavy game (such as large pigs) from a stand at night. For that a 9.3x62 is best equipped with a scope well suited for night time shooting. Mine happens to be a Zeiss VM 3-12x56 with an illuminated #8 reticle. Obviously, there are many other good options for low light shooting. The other main use of the 9.3 here in Europe is on running boar. For that a low magnification/high FOV scope is just about ideal. Scopes with a lower magnification of 1 to 1.5 are the just ticket. Some may even prefer a dot sight of some sort. - mike ********************* The rifle is a noble weapon...

I wanted "well balanced" scope (FOV vs. eye relief) with excellent optics and that's what I got. Vero Vellini padded leather safari sling completes this outfit. I couldn't be happier. Illuminated reticle with intensity adjustment would be nice, but my budget just could not strech that far. | |||

I have a Burris Safari 1.5-6 with a tapered post reticle on mine. I love the post and fine crosshair. I would have lost some nice trophies with another less usable reticle. I lacks littel twilight factor but is a good scope for the money. I have taken it to Africa twice and not lost anything yet. The newer Burris are much better in low light than before 2002.

My 9.3x62 wears a Nikon Monarch 2-7 that really looks right on my short and light (20" barrel) rifle. I did load development with a Nikon 3-9 and a Leupold 3-9 that was a little big for the rifle. | |||

I have a 2-7 Kahles 1" on my 9.3x62. Seems like a perfect light and useful scope for the round. I've hunted it in Africa and USA. Taken game cleanly to 287 yards with it and no problems. ______________________ Guns are like parachutes.

I bought another 9.3x62 barrel for my Blaser, and I scoped it with a Swarovski A series 3-9x36mm. | |||

My Husky 9.3x62 wears a Bushnell Elite 2-7x32 as a main scope and as a backup I have a 40 year old 4x Weaver classic. Both have Warne detachable rings. I am still not convinced I really needed to move up to a 2-7 but I was always curious about having 2 scopes for a rifle and having each sighted for a different load. I sighted in the 4x Weaver for 286 gr partitions and the 2x7 for 250 gr accubond handloads.  Now I find I can mix either scope with either load and the all hit within 2 inches at 100 yards. You've gotta love those 9.3s !!!! Lance Lance Larson Studio lancelarsonstudio.com | |||

My cz fs will have a zeiss 2.5x8 conquest when I get the warren HIGH qd rings. The mediums were too low, the bolt won't clear the ocular bell. (I think that's the term) | |||

I've settled on the Trijicon Accupoint 1.25-4 with the red triangle. I rarely use more than 4x even on lighter rifles and the bright reticle is just the thing for showing up against game. | |||

Gee, I feel so basic. I used a Kahles 4x32mm on my 9.3x62mm rifle, which will be "upgraded" to a Leupold 1.5-5 VXIII before it's next hunt. LLS  | |||

A Weaver K4 has been the only scope on my CZ. Works like a charm. An underrated piece of glass to be sure. | |||
|
| One of Us |
what bases do you use with the K4 | |||
|
| One of Us |
slim buttes, I stayed with the rings that came with the CZ(bases are integral). They are heavy but have not given me any problems. It's been a very good setup for me. | |||

I recently put my 36 year old Leupold M8 4X on my new CZ 9.3X62. I can't think of a situation from 10 to 300 yds. where it will not work just fine. My medium height Warne rings work well and look good. | |||

Good choice and that is all the scope you need on a 9.3x62.. Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

My Sako 75 in 9.3x62 wears a VX1 in 2-7x33 (wide reticle) and I really have not found it wanting yet although I am sure some of the Euro optics are better in low light.... | |||

My 9.3x62 (like Snellstrom's) has a 20" tube. I've EAW Pivot Mounts with a 8x56 Zeiss for nighttime which is pretty overwhelming on that short tube but what the heck - I've haven't heard any Piggies complain. The other set of EAW rings has a 30mm Millett Red Dot which is perfect for Drive Hunts - it's really looks at home on the stubby rifle, too. Cheers, Number 10 | |||

Hunts, I did the same thing. I just put a Weaver K4 on my CZ 550 in 9.3X62. However, I have just finished putting together a Blaser 9.3X62 as well and on that one, I pulled the Leupold 1.75X6 off my .375 and used it on the Blaser. I really love this caliber and am selling my Ruger Safari Magnum .375 H&H. If anyone is interested, drop me a note and I will send you some pictures.
