Raimey, I have not yet read the other thread - will do so.
I am pretty well persuaded re the cartridge. I will hunt mostly Moose with the gun but may one day take it to a country in Africa. The 9.3 X 74 rimmed kind of fits my idea of what a mid weight animal cartridge should be. It is the gun that I am most interested in gaining critique. I have heard both good and bad but not from first hand "users". Thanks, Slate
