Sorry- my first post on Rokslide. It should have been in the firearms forum.Not sure why this isn’t in the firearms forum…
Only you can decide whether it is worth the extra money. If I was going to spend that much money, I’d spend a bit more and get a fancy wooden RokStok. That’s what I’m doing for my Tikka M690 in 9.3x62.
This is my Sauer 100 9.3x62 from EuroOptic. I didn’t pay sticker price either. Jake takes good care of Roksliders.
All good, I moved it to the firearms section
Off topic but what bullets are you using in 9.3?
Gotcha. What do you know about that 185 Lapua on game? I'm really tempted to get that Sauer 100 9.3x62 because I'm continually impressed with my Sauer 6.5 Creedmoor. BUT ammo selection doesn't seem to fit my purpose. I can load the 200 grain prohunter in my Mark X 375 H&H for a cartridge that is easy on the shoulder and incredibly deadly on our bigger swamp pigs. If there was a good analog for the 9.3 caliber then I'd probably sell that Mark X.
No worries at all. Just more information about a cartridge that I’m looking at getting. Where I typically hunt both mule deer and elk, shots are usually under 200 yards, so I think it would be a fun one to replace the 308 and then I’d also have a nice rifle that I would be familiar with to take up to Alaska sometime for a big moose in bear country.
I don't know anything about you so this food-for-thought may be off target. But if you do some reading through the various threads in this forum showcasing different cartridges and their effectiveness on game, you'll see plenty of proof that your 308 has you fully covered for bear and moose. On top of that, the recoil of a 9.3x62 is stout and very difficult to maintain accuracy with.
