Re: Scope Magnification Range for the 9.3x62

9.3x62 and 9.3x74r are very popular calibers in Europe.Also drive hunting is very popular in Europe...
So most european hunters buy a 1.1-4 or 1.5-6 powered scopes.The first one 1-4(1-6 Swaro,1.1-4 zeiss and so on) is the driven hunt specialist alongside with reddot sights.The 1.5-6 power is something of an universal scope choise.Does the job for driven hunts also does the job for raised stand hunting.
I think that scope choise should be closely conected with the type of hunting done with the rifle in question.
My point is that calibre has little to do with scope selection and you need to decide on what type of hunting you'll use the rifle for.And then decide on what scope to purchase.
For example if I wanted a scope for hunting from a raised hide + low light or stalking I'll buy 2.5-10x50/56(illuminated reticle is a must)or something like that.If I wanted to do a bit of driven hunt and a bit of raised hide + low light hunting with only one scope I'd go for something like the 1.5-6x42 powered scope + illuminated reticle.If used only on driven hunt or shooting in close range(dangerous game) 1-4,1.1-4,1-6x24(Zeiss,Docter,Swarovski,S&B,Kahles,Nikon)with an illuminated reticle or an red dot sight(aimpoint of sweden,docter of germany or ultradot(very nice price/performance figure)of japan).


Good luck with the scope choise.And lots of trophies with the 9.3.
