Creating a do it all 9.3x62

You're right but I think it was the Lightweights that BUM was referring to.

I was praising up the lightweights in particular, but Talleys are good no matter the flavour. The only rifle I have ever worried about a backup scope in rings with is my 416 Rigby which is a Model 77 so essentially QD rings. It does give a good sense of security to know that there's a scope waiting in you pack that can go to work in a matter of minutes.

Yes, and quite often a spare scope is easier and sometimes cheaper than custom back-up iron sights.

The one I picked up for the RSM was a used VX3 1.5-5x freshly back from a check up at Korth that I got for $250. Despite the fact that the RSM already has pretty nice irons, for under $300 (once you get another set of Ruger rings) you really can't go wrong.
 
funny about the 9.3x62 in europe for hight seat hunting at night i used a meopta 2000 7x50 with a plain german 4 never underscoped at all.i used too a schmidt und bender klassik or the equivalent 1.1-4x24 with a german 4 and again will it be in the wood or plains the scope rifle combo worked well.

today i will put the custom shop big bore fxII 3x .... that is the new scope that is on the 9.3x62 ... weaver steel bases and of course leupold qrw rings.

I have been looking at the Lapua ammunition with the 286gr Mega bullet. May get a couple of boxes to try in my rifle when it gets here. If it shoots decently, then buy some of the bullets to fine tune a load for my rifle.
That flat meplat looks like it could really transfer some energy upon impact of large, heavy game, such as the bison, elk, bear and moose that I plan on hunting with this rifle.
I also plan on trying the Nosler AccuBond in 250gr.

Has anyone tried this ammo?
On big game results?

I found the 250 gr AccuBond to be accurate in my Husky but no chance on game yet.

I have a box of those 250 NAB's to reload, and a couple boxes of the 286 grain PPU privi partizan's to fire form.

The 286's shot a bit slower than advertised in my 20" ish long barreled rebored steyr, closer to 2100fps if I recall, but performed very well on elk and deer. The elk at about 40 yards and the mule at about 120 yards.

Both of them blew through rib, boiler maker/maybe liver, through the far rib and stopped in the hide on the far side. Hit the elk running, it didn't go more than 20 yards and piled up, hit the mule standing still and it walked about 20 feet and fell over. Both mushroomed ideally, the projectiles are already broad before they hit and widened quite well, retained around +80% of mass.

The slower moving projectiles yielded much less meat damage, my brothers 300WM loaded hot with 200 NAB's make a mess of things with all the hydrostatic shock damage at 100 yards. He gets a lot of wasted meat sometimes but does very well with long shots and his rifle, I won't even get into it as I'd probably be called out for a tall story, but over 500 yards his setup is still very efficient.
