I am thinking of building another 9.3x64. I have one someone else built on a old FN. I want to build this one on a M700 with a dropped box magazine, synthetic stock, barrel band, NECG sights, and a Schmidt and Bender 1.75-6 Zenith. Should be just the ticket for Bison, bears, and hot, humid, dusty Cameroon and Water Buffalo in Oz.

Well, if the .375H&H fits in a 700 action, the 9.3x64 should, too.

Are you thinking of using a stainless steel barrel? I think Ray would like that. Wink

A stainless Mod 70 action would be more fitting with that SS barrel that would please Ray.

unless i'm mistaken the 9.3x64 has an oddball case head dia and as such no standard remington m700 bolt face would likely work w/ the original extractor. if i'm right - or recalling correctly i should say - you'd have to mod the bolt face dia of a standard ctg bolt and convert to a sako style extractor.

and yes, in the name of paul mausers ghost please don't tell the crf people you're even thinking abt it.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

SmilerSounds like you've already made up your mind so good luck! Good choice of caliber though.

Ray,

Come on it's not a Dangerous Game rifle we all know that a DGR has to be at least 40 cal...just listen to all the experts here Big Grin


Mike

Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.



What I have learned on AR, since 2001:
1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken.
2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps.
3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges.
4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down.
5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine.
6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle.
7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions.
8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA.
9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not.
10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact.
11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores.
12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence.
13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances.

Nope, you can't do it, call Empire and get George on the phone and shell out $6500, make sure you get the Empire action, and Exhibition walnut, and custom 5+1 bottom metal, NECG sights, 1/4 rib, the whole schmere. Then you will get respect, then you will be the man, then you will shut up all those wankers with 10 cents worth of experience, and 150 pounds of extra weight.

JUST KIDDING, BUILD WHAT YOU WANT, AND ENJOY IT!

Brownells and Midway have all the parts, Pac-Nor will put a barrel on for you.

Fiberglass custom Stock $600
Dropped Box Mag $500
Stainless barell job $500
Sights $350 installed.
Talley barrel band $200 installed.

Rough estimates! Buyer beware.

except that the case rim diameter is still an oddball that doesn't match anything else commonly used in this country (.494 or .496 or something like that) and no standard remington bolt face or extractor will work altho, like i said before can probably mod to a sako style extractor and adapt to it.

actually, not liking m700's and never had but a few, i haven't spent much time looking at them that close and as that's only .011" on the radius larger than a standard case head, it could be the m700 is built loose enough to accept it or that it's possible the alteration is so slight to bolt face and extractor that it could be accomodated. find somebody w/ a 700 in 30-06 or whatever and try one of your ctgs to see if will fit or how close it does get.
