I too am amazed at the 100m + shooting with a 9,3 x 74R. It works!

It would seem like that gun calibre combination would have a good deal of market appeal

It has, Aleko, it has.

But *you* must let them know. Write them (fax, not email). Repeat, inquire, make your case with good arguments nd with sales estimates. The Russians do listen, though they take their time.

I am a bit confident, because I recently succeeded in lowering their asking price for the Tigr-9 selfloading rifle in 9,3x64 substantially, just by being persistent and by arguing conclusively.

Jean,
Please read my above post. Take your Chapuis to the range and shoot it at 200 yards/meters, and at 300 yards/meters on paper, you might be suprised. I tested my Chapuis at 200 and 300 yards before I went to Africa.I have no qualms about shooting game up to 300 yards, I just need to make sure my skinning knife is sharp.
