Happy days. Should be fun times. Will you handload ? How many rounds in the magazine ? Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing. | |||

Three down I believe. Yes, I'm looking at getting back into loading, with the cost of ammo I'm going to have too. PPU's are $70, Winchesters up in the 90's and Federal is $130ish a box  ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin.

WOW. Reloading is fun, especially for medium to larger bores. Saw some Federal 375H&H at a gunshop recently, about $130 a box of 20! No thanks Happy hunting and good shooting Bakes. DRSS | |||

. Pretty quick. Deposit in August and rifle 6 weeks later. Good stuff. 9,3x62 is a great round! Thoughts on what scope ? . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | |||

At the moment the scope off my 303 ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | |||

If you want a scope to last long on your 9.3, Bakes, look for something small and/or old. The modern ones all have a mini-me suspended inside likely to bounce around under recoil - and the more complicated the scope, the more there is to bounce around. Real Pecars and old, reticle-movement Kahles scopes did not work like that and usually last well. Of the modern stuff with constantly centred reticles, the Leupold FX 2.5x might be as good as any, or, if you must have a variable, a Swaro Z6 1-6x (or two, to be sure). | |||

Yeah I was looking at the Leupold. That'll be for next tax cheque  ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | |||

I take an old M8 2.5x Compact in case the Nickel on my Zastava 9.3 ever fogs up. I've seen less tunnel vision in other Leupolds but Ray Atkinson reckons those are the toughest ones. That said, he broke so many Leupolds on his Lott and .505 that they made him a special. By their claim that he would not break that one because the reticle was under the turrets, I glean it is reticle-movement - putting a reticle in the first focal plane on an image-movement scope would give more leverage to the erector tube, not less. | |||

It’s a 9.3 x 62, not a .460 Weatherby. I’d be more concerned about the scope slipping in the rings than breaking a scope. The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.

Everything's relative, Bushchook. Ray reckons the trouble begins with the 458 Lott but John Barsness mentioned the 300 Weatherby, 12-gauge rifled slugs and revolvers as destroying scopes after a few shots. Others cite airguns and Lead Sleds. What I know is you are much more likely to get a broken erector set or spring where the entire guts ride the roller coaster than when the only thing that can move inside is a quarter-ounce reticle cell held in a verticle dovetail. | |||
