Got the Agry Mauser back from Tom. He did the all the metal work, Douglas barrel in 9.3 . I put it in a spare stock I had laying around. Barrel has about 25 rounds of PPU 286gr through it.

Here's the target after getting the Nikon 2-7 installed


100yrds, three shots.

I didn't take a pic this weekend. This is with just the irons. Please excuse the ratty stock.

I am convinced that old Paul and Wilhelm had a brilliant idea putting the step in exactly the right place on these barrels and that is what I do; they routinely shoot way better than one would expect. I believe that this step and contour have a totally positive effect on the barrel harmonics which results in great shooting.
Now, for the small calibers, mainly 275 Rigby, I have the Earl of Marlborough pattern barrels which I expect to better the 9.3s in performance, but are a pound lighter.
This contour is all I am using these days for obvious reasons. .
Nice shooting Rich. Think about the possibilities with a stock that actually fit.

I have never heard of an Agry mauser before. Did the bolt face have to be altered for the 9.3 mauser.

Come on, everyone knows he meant Angry Mauser.

Everyone but me.

it's a 1990 agry muaser

Oh, it's an A&M graduate as well?

No Mauser (post 71/84) needs to have the bolt face altered for a 9.3x62, whether it is an angry, happy or Texas Aggie one.
Or even a 1909 Argentine one.
The 1909 does need a little rail tweaking as they started out life as a 7.65. But it's an easy mod.

And here's me thinking it was an angry mouse from the 1900's
