Sorry for highjacking your thread with my whine and cheese festival JC.
I have no first hand experience with Tikka's in 9.3x62mm, but those owners who I've talked to about it seemed very happy with their rifles. The Sako's and
Tikka's don't meet the criteria that I'm looking for, but I'm sure they'd perform like most them do: extremely well. I've heard of people with the T3 Battue in
9.3x62 replacing the stock recoil pad, but then it is a very light rifle, so I'm not surprised. Obviously, the 1:14 twist rate is not an issue for you, so you might
also want to consider the Zastava M98 rifle; I know Epps deals in them.
358 I see your n. of redmonton, did you try wayne at dapp corner store? 780-954-3852,prices are awesome bought 3 cz,s from him.
Well, the last time I was there, admittedly a couple of years ago, I didn't notice any CZ's in the gun case, but I'll give him a call. It sure would be nice
to look at and handle what you're buying prior to forking out the cash. Do you think he'll have a 9.3x62 in stock? It would be a pleasant surprise if he did.
Thanks for the heads up hamhock, I appreciate it.I'll keep you posted.
Love my Tikka T3 9.3x62. Yep she bucks pretty good. The limbsaver really tamed it down. Very accurate as with all T3.

of rifles in the world, last time I was there anyway, but I was surprised they carried any at all. Just a neat old store.![]()
thanks i will check him out i see your name is 358 blr i considerd that rifle as well as a heavy hitter how do you compare it to the 9.3 for a big hitter
The way I see it, the 9.3x62 will do with a 286gn bullet, what a 35 Whelen will do with a 250gn bullet - given the same barrel length. And you'll have the higher Sectional Density and Ballistic Coefficient of the 286gn bullet to help you along. Lots of wallop in a .358 cal bullet, even more so with the .366 cal.
Thank you.Very, very, nice. Can you share the price with us?

Thanks.That CZ Lux is one of my all time favourite rifles. I will some day be getting one of those or the CZ FS. 9.3 is the way to go too. Good job. Congrats on the rifle.
Western gun parts for warne rings,nice looks like my med.lux in 300 wm,price sounds very reasonable, mine was $960.00 after tax.
