I just got back from a local gunshop here in the Columbus Ohio area (just moved) and when I inquired about a CZ in 9,3x62 they looked at me as if I were a giant insect. Then they told me that it would be impossible to get one of them. Does anyone know where I might be able to find one? Any help would be nice.

I got mine through a local dealer. I asked him to order one, and about two weeks later it came way up here from Florida. Worth every penny too.

When in doubt, do a nuclear strike.

Find another gunshop, or search the net. - Dan

If the folks at Vance's weren't so interested in demonstrating that they know everything and that you're a know-nothing insect, they might have a clue about where to locate something besides an M-700 270 or a TEC 9. It's a shame they have decent prices; you just have to go there occasionally!

Head up I-71 about an hour and a half to Fin, Feathers, & Fur at Exit 186 (Ashland). They're just off the interstate (to the east), have three times the selection of guns and helpful, knowledgeable staff. They stock CZ's and may even have a 9.3 in stock. And they offer in-store 0% financing for a year. It's a pleasant (and dangerous) place to shop; it's hard for me to leave there without something new. Good luck. -WSJ

Thank you very much WSJ! And good job on naming the place too. They were nice enough guys, but I don't think rifles are their forte. I've noticed that problem in a lot of gun shops. I'v even had people go "7x57, whats that?" Thanks very much for the info I will definately follow up on it.

I have found that people do not look out of the box. The 9,3x62mm is a great round and more accurate that a 35 Whelen or the .338-06. The CZ is one of the best rifles you can buy and any gunstore that will not special order the gun is a poor example of the trade. Obvisously you are serious about getting your hands on a 9,3 the gun store did not want to trouble themselves with gaining a new customer. I wish I could afford to do that!
