Drilling by that company for sale locally. It is in 16 x 16 x 9.3 x 75R. Can find no info on that caliber. Can anyone help? Claw mounts are over one barrel only. Does scope mount to one side or center? How hard are the mounts to find? Thanks, moodyholler

I have found this only mention of the cartridge:

These cartridges are 9.3x82R NIMROD. Notes from my database
********************
This is the most popular of the 9.3x82R case types and is not tot be confused with either the; 9.3x82R JUNG or the very similar 9.3x82R/360 Austrian Express and 9.3x82.5R D Express types.
This is easily the most well-known 'Nimrod' calibre and also the commonest of the three "360" based 82mm cases. It is distinguished from the other two '.360' based 82mm cases by having a very slight (but generally noticeable) neck at the top of the case. In reality, the case tapers consistently from the base at 11.05mm to the start of the neck 10.05mm (ie a 1mm taper over c72mm of case). This is a more gradual
taper than most other 360 based German Express types but consistent with other the 'Nimrod' case type shapes.
The earliest example is probably the "DRGM 103385" hs which is a patent of c1899 and likely to have been produced by Utendoerffer/RWS. What the German Patent was for is unknown but is likely to have been taken out by THIEME & SCHLEGELMILCH who owned the NIMROD GEWEHRFABRIK at Suhl. Rosenberger states that this calibre was normalised sometime in the 1930's and other references say after WW1, but no list of Normalised cartridges confirms this statement.
Listed in a 1912 RWS catalog as an "E" type and like the 9.3x72R (EXP14) and 9.3x75R (EXP15) Nimrods, most examples have a 1.15-1.2mm rim. However early "NIMROD-GEWEHRFABRIK-SUHL-" examples appear to have a rim closer to 1.05mm however this is due to the strong bevel giving a false impression of a rim thinner than it actually is. Alternatively It may indicate that rim thickness is not critical for chambering purposes in Nimrod weapons.
Another key identifying characteristic of the 9.3x82R Nimrod is the wide rim (for 360 types) at c12.5mm, unlike the other Nimrods which are generally c12.20-12.25mm.

Thank you for the info. moodyholler

NIMROD was the proprietory name for guns built by the firm of Thieme & Schelegmilch of Suhl. Top quality drillings, combo guns and shotguns. Their lock system is still in use.

alsolutely right,

the nimrod was the best ever made.
I could only find this two gunsmith where you can order custum made Nimrod rifles.
