Just shot it in getting ready for Africa in March. I bought this gun specifically for this trip.
The gun really impressed me. It shot steady 3/4" or better at 100 yards.
Had my son helping me so I wouldn't start flinching. Significant recoil, but not terrible.

You're gonna' just love how it performs on game!
I don't know what you're planning to shoot with it but if you can find (good luck) some 250gn accubonds they've proven deadly for me on elk in two 9.3 cartridges.

Gary Reeder and another friend donated a few boxes of the Accubonds to me. That's what I'm planning to take to hunt with.

I used the 250 Accubonds in Namibia in 2007 for plains game and they performed well, out of a 9.3x62 CZ rifle. I was driving them about 2550 fps with 4064. I too have a No.1 x74, second one actually, good shooters both. Where are you headed to and is this your first trip over there?

I've been friends with Gary around 25 years. In fact, going to Africa with him and a few other friends. I dread the plane ride. But, then again a lot of hours to discuss projects for the future. |

I’m hunting with my 9.3-62 this week as well, among other shorter firearms.
I’ve had good luck with Barnes TSX 286gr, and my buddy in Nam swears by them.
Good luck,........Trapr
