Hello all,

The gun arrived and I did a chamber cast .. its exactly a 9.3x74R ... not the Sauer cartridge ... So does this give any idea of when this gun was made? Would such a powerful cartridge be in use is a rifle with this action? Interesting is that the rifling starts about an inch beyond the the case mouth. Looks like long heavy bullets could be used?
