Oh, I understand their use of big honkers and the way they hunt, I just prefer a slim little gem of a rifle to have a small, lightweight scope. Ease of portability and I just like the lines. I thought the 9.3x62 was the cased rifle but on going to Jim's site, I see the muzzle of what I assume is the stutzen and... it ain't no varmint caliber. Still a neat rifle and a very useful cartridge. I need to kill something with mine.
