Here's my recently acquired 9.3x62 Husqvarna model 246. I was looking for a few used brass cases and some kind forum members helped me out. I have several double rifles in 9.3 caliber, but don't have a bolt action. I don't have it in hand yet, but look forward to shooting this rare beauty.

As always your comments are welcome ......

Looks a dandy! Wouldn’t mind a Lyman 35 for one of my own.

Picture link appears broken.

Buckstix,
That’s a beautiful rifle! I especially like the 24 inch barrel combined with the peep. Nice long sight radius. I prefer lightly figured wood too. I’m not familiar with the term “antioxid barrel”. (Can anyone explain that term?)

Thank you for sharing it with us. Let us know how it shoots.

Hello Aaron,
That's one of the reasons I bought the rifle. I've seen those Lyman Bolt Stop mounted sights bring over $250 on eBay.

Hello,
antioxid is a type of "stainless steel". It has slightly higher nickel and chromium content than regular barrel steel.

That's rather tasty, in a restrained way. Make a proper meadow vole defence cabin rifle, that.

I'm a push-over for barrel-band swivel mounts. Needed or not, I find they add a certain gravitas, aesthetically; a statement of intent.

The 9.3x62 is a world class cartridge, generally allowed as an exception for dangerous game in those former British possessions that set a .375 Minimum. At the same time, it destroys less meat in a small deer size animal than a 243, and works as well on them with cast bullets as with jacketed ones (also you can make cases from 30-06).

Still haven't gotten the picture.

Mike I had the same issue with seeing the pics. BUT I did manage to see them by jumping thru a couple hoops.

1. Go to the first posting and click on "quote" for a reply.
2. That will take you to the reply page.
3. Now you can see the actual Link to the pictures. Copy the Link and Paste in your browse and this will take you to the pics.

I know it's a bit of hassle but buckstix seems to struggle with posting pics. The rifle is not bad and at least it isn't one of those gaudy fish hook pistol grip stocks normally shown. Good Luck
