That one was marked 9,3圆2 instead of 9,3. Great rifle ozhunter, and wonderful trophies! Husqvarna made a model 246 in 9,3圆2 as well, but only a couple of hundreds. No, he didn't rebed or anything, but I'll ask him to do that when I return it in after the season. It's a good thing the barrel has 9.3mm only on it. I have a HVA 46 in 9.3x57 that runs 6 lbs I've owned, along with reshaping the stocks for left shoulder shooting, etc. I'd like a 17-inch bbl carbine some time in it. Surely one of the best superlight carbine calibers ever cooked up. Recoil is noticeably heavier with the 圆2, and I've found the x57 very effective. I like the 9,3x57 as well, but due to the limitations on number of rifles you can own in Sweden and that I intend to use it in Africa, 圆2 is a better choice for me.Ĭlark, that makes good sense as the 圆2 will of course do what the x57 will do, and a bit more. What are the Rosary, the Cross or the Crucifix other than tools to help maintain the fortress of our faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? If you plan to shoot cast bullets, make sure you slug the bore. Norwegian hunter misses moose, shoots man on toilet Replace the plastic grip end with steel one.Īlthough I am a great fan of the swedish 9,3x57 rifle and don't like it when change to 圆2 must say that you do a good work. Replace bolt handle, and replace flag safety with M/70 safety to accomodate a low scope mount. Next on the list to have done (after this years hunting season): Added a buffalo foreend, and also checkering. Added small English type rings to banded sling mount and stock. Added a band to the front sight and moved it back 2 cms. I've let a Swedish gunsmith make all the changes that I list below: Husqvarna used a FN Mauser 98 action for these rifles. It is originally in 9,3x57 but I've changed it to 9,3圆2. This is my recently acquired Husqvarna model 146 made in 1940. I've been mostly a lurker here for a while, but as I always enjoy looking at pictures of your beautiful rifles I thought I'd contribute with a project of mine, which I hope will follow me to my next Africa trip.
