Tikka 9.3x62

[Harronek]

G’day
Over here in Australia there is a thread about the 9.3 ( Tikka T3 ) on a local forum .
It goes back to about 2013 and the guy who started it has documented his kills over the years .
He has shot literally thousands of animals with it getting rid of feral animals on his large cattle property in the far north of Australia.
I highly recommend a look .
If you can find anyone else in this world who has killed more animals with a 9.3 please let me know .

I knew Sako had harder barrels, I didn't know Tikka had hard barrels also. Looks like a barrel nut type of re-barrel if I go the Tikka route. I may just re-barrel a 1968 vintage Savage 110C in 30-06 i have. Or I might just have the Savage barrel re-bored because it has iron sights, if it's thick enough.

Those old savage rifles are solid! Plus if you already have barrel mounted irons that’s a huge bonus. That’s my one issue with building a Tikka, I’ll have to source good irons and find a gunsmith that will mount them.

I have a lonely Bell & carlson M40 stock for a Tikka T3 laying around. It would be a good setup, I think. A 9.3x62 M40.

IF you didn’t want to pursue a build with that stock I might be bothered to take it off your hands lol

More versatile with heavy bullets (250gr plus) as some day I’d like to go to Australia & Africa to hunt buffalo. I don’t have anything against the 35 whelen, it’s just not a chambering I’m interested in.

I was going to tell you that you were crazy until you said this
A Tikka 9.3 is a beast to shoot, but certainly the best carrying one in existence, I know because a mate has one and I helped him get it sorted with a NSX 1-8
10/10 choice for your intended use
