9.3x62 'plans' in motion

Let's not forget the proper Canadian designation for the 9.3x62, the quintessential mountain man's cartridge of the great white north, the .366 Wagner! :)


Now that is how to sell cartridges! Winchester, Remington, & Federal take note!
But maybe Matrix Bullets would be more in keeping with Canadian content.

Agreed... makes me want to grab a pack, rifle and canoe and head for the wilderness...
 
The 9.3 x 62 is a classic African caliber. My PH for my African safari carried an Obendorf Mauser in that caliber for his "light" rifle and a Winchester Model 70 in .416 Remington magnum for his heavy.

I wasn't going to mention it until I had the goods in my hot little hands but, the 2nd phase of the 'plans' in motion took place today. I made the deal with Trade Ex this morning and my Zastava Commercial M98 (M-70) Full Mannlicher Stock rifle in 9.3x62 is on the way as we speak.
 
Congrats, Johnn. That gun won't be as polished and refined as many of your others, like that nice .270 Sako Mannlicher, but for the money you get a nice all-steel Mauser that works well right out of the box. A few hundred dry-fires at the TV over an evening or two will work wonders. I guess WildTV isn't completely useless after all. :)
 
There's been a meeting by a Hollywood producer looking for a cast for the reproduction of the movie "Godfather". We, with a number of local CGNers, had lunch with this producer and chat session when he was here. We are considered to play parts if this goes forward :).


When do we get to see some photos similar to Ted's with your new rifle Mr. Peterson?
The kaa knew rapids riding a mewsie and tugg'n the big fur kritter on a tarp is to be expected
sometime in the future........:stirthepot2:

Thanks guy.;)Waiting for it now, I feel like a kid at Christmas. I lucked into a set of new RCBS dies + necksizer, 200 PVI 285gr RN bullets and 100 Lapua unprimed brass at a recent gun show in Duncan. :dancingbanana:I'm all prepped for the arrival of my birthday present:D. I posted earlier, if I can sweet talk a jeweler buddy, I'll get it's calibre changed to read 366 Wagner:).

I hope we get to see a picture of it when it arrives

How did you guys get to the name Wagner? I remember the thread about it... but Wagner?

I guess if you said it in a German accent... .366 VEHGNAH!

Ted Wagner is the gentleman pictured in the canoe and also quite an advocate of the 'parent calibre', the 9.3x62. I can't recall off hand who was the front runner in advocating the calibre change to the 366 Wagner but that change continues to gain popularity:cool:.
