I have this agravating dang 9.3X62 Blaser barrel. You set a target up at a hundred yards and your first shot goes right where it is zeroed, but you can never find the next two shots, they must be missing the paper all together. I guess I will hunt with it as it always puts that first shot right where you want it.

I've got a 338 like that. Where's the challange?

my rem 270. has the same problem. were really SCREWED if we miss with the first shot.hehehe!

That must be an inherent problem the 9.3x62's. Mine has the same problem.

9,3x62's just don't shoot. Here's the first group I shot with mine:




They can be pretty Ugly too:




Gotta like 9,3's..................DJ

It's a shame when you get rifles like yours. If the animal doesn't drop with the first shot, all the other bullets following down the same hole are not going have any effect. Bummer.

No worries. Send 'em to me. I'll make a good home for them.

I've got two ... one CZ 550 American and an ugly truck rifle built on a VZ.24. Both do fine ... not as "bad" as some of these, but within the MOA range. Never had to screw around to find a decent load.

They sure as heck aren't as pretty as DJ's. That's a beauty!

Djpaintles,

Who made your rifle? That is beautiful! My first thought was Echols, but I am unsure...

Gorgeous, regardless!

X2. Lovely rifle. But the bolt is on the wrong side!

Certainly the case with Blaser 9.3x62s

JPK,

no it's not, just reverse the print and you're good to go.

Here is another inherent problem... My Sauer 9.3x62 shooting 250 gr. Accubonds

They are very troubling rifles aren't they? Not only do they shoot without tweaking, but they whisper sweet nothings in your ear about booking the next flight to Windhoek ...

My 9.3 has done that; not only did the second and third shots miss, the first one must have wobbled or something because the hole was .65" edge to edge. Maybe it was the cheap Hornady bullets I was using.

NICE RIFLE!!!!! Although accurate, the looks of the Blaser have never grown on me. Kind of like a Savage: accurate but ugly.

The one I borrowed shot three Norma Oryx's into a one minute hole at 150 yards off of the back of a four wheeler the first day of last moose season. With a 6x scope, factory trigger, rolled up Carhartts for a rest, and me behind the trigger, that's an excellent group.

Ron, I think you should send the barrel back to Blaser and ask them for another that will group at least a two inch group.

Thanks for the Compliments, I built the rifle. It was my project number 5. Here's the left side: (sorry not the best pic)




I need to get back busy with project #6 which will be it's near twin in 7x57:




Been too busy making a living on my real job (and maybe shooting too often) to have spent time on the 7x57 for way too long. After hunting season I'm planning to get back to work on it...................................DJ

DJ,

You have every right to be DAMN proud of that one!

Congrats on a VERY successful project. Simply lovely.

Thank you very much................DJ

Nice work on your project. Congrats on the scope mounting, that Kahles looks made for that rifle, just beautiful and a credit to you.

All I can add is that I'd like to have a problem like that.
