African Model

[3040krag]

Anyone else attracted to the new African Model M77? I feel a 9.3X62 is calling my name. I need it about like I need a hole in the head, but...

What's need got to do with it? Want trumps need every time!

I saw that. Its a classic cartridge (evoking visions of south africa and the Boers) and a perfect elk gun. It would work for deer with a lighter bullet, too.

What would really be cool would be to have a brace of african rugers. One chambered for 9.3x62mm and the other one chambered for .223 rem.

I have a CZ 550 American in 9.3 x 62. Love the thing. Doesn't kick any harder than a 308, puts all those big old bullets in little cloverleaf clusters. Would love to take it moose hunting, but they seem pretty scarce here in NC. Also have a # 1 in 9.3 x74R; same ballistics, just about as much fun to shoot.

The x62 is easy to load, a case full of RL15 or Varget and you are good to go. Hornady has brass and loaded ammo, as do others. You could even form cases from 30-06, but no need to bother. Go for it. We only get one lap on the track of life.......

Do you want to risk being unpreppared when an elephant breaks loose from the circus?
