Yep,...will do!

Its a darn great shooter!

I've only shot <80 rounds of factory ammo and it shoots little-bitty bug holes...

Can't believe I gotta sell this rifle but that's the way it goes!

Its SCAREY accurate!!!

I may hate the decision after...

add - sell 308, and you have the perfect solution

No sir, the brenneke is a standard (1mm longer than 30-06) length round, and is a .498. not .532 bolt face. its nearly a unique round, but is far closer to a 30-06 than a magnum, in size.

Yep, I've been wanting a 9.3x62 for quite some time. I'm now deliberating the same thing myself for the reasons you just mentioned...

I may have to seriously re-think this decision!

LateBloomer,
I think this isn't really a tough decision. Realizing how difficult it is to part with an accurate rifle, my recommendation is don't sell it. The 308 certainly has its place for a guy who enjoys deer, black bear, or hog hunting. It's perfect.

If you just want or need something bigger to shoot, the 9.3x62 is plenty anywhere except maybe Africa. Although the 9.3x64 is a great cartridge, brass and factory ammo is getting harder to find, and the extra power just isn't needed anyway.

Two CZs like that are all a fellow really needs for big game, from deer to brown bear.
