These are my opinions and like mileage may and probably do differ from yours. One drawback to the Mauser route in 9.3圆2 is that Hammer bullets does not make 9.3mm bullets and I really like what their bullets do on game, I will look at the other mono metal bullets. actions, features like controlled round feeding, very positive extraction, safeties that lock the bolt not the trigger. A great big game rig in excellent condition. A Leupold 1.5x5 scope is mounted on EAW quick release mounts. Has a 3-leaf express sight, Mauser action and figured walnut stock. I think Mauser 98 actions make a great platform for building hunting guns unless you want a magnum that is too fat or too long, or you want a long range hunter. Whitworth Express rifle, made in England. I don't think the bears will know the difference between bullets from the 375 Ruger or 9.3圆2, dead is dead, right. When back I will have a 3-position swing safety installed, and it should be set for spring bear hunting in 2020. I thought about bringing up the 9.3圆2 but did not want to derail your original discussion. I like your 9.3圆2 route, I boxed up a Sears Model 50 in 30-06 that I will send out to be rebored to 9.3圆2 and barrel shortened to 20", a good option for $250. 300 Pre-64 Winchester 70 build I have in mind or a modified P14/M1917 Enfield since I've heard of several of those in. I'll give the Interarms and/or Zastava a look, but I think I'll end up saving the magnum for another rifle, either a. Doesn't quite have the same allure as a classic belted magnum but there's enough history and use behind the cartridge that I wouldn't feel bad about not going with an H&H. 375H&H and still fit without trouble in the standard action wouldn't need any bolt modification either, unless I'm mistaken. My backup calibre was 9.3圆2 Mauser, if I wanna stick with an original military Mauser (and I think I do, since I'm interested in making a vintage-style big game gun), which I understand can give me comparable stats to the. I'd much prefer not to weaken or remove anything that should stay strong on any gun. I'm sure that someone somewhere has managed to do it successfully but that's why I added the "or recommended" part. Yeah, my chief concern was taking too much metal out of the action, so I figured it would be a no-go.
