Did someone just say "9.3x74R"?

It is no secret that I like the 9.3. It is neither fish, nor fowl, but it does about anything I'll ever need. I liken it to the 16 gauge. Both are classic old rounds, and both are making a come back...for good reason. They both provide adaquate power for almost any type hunting...in a lighter, trimmer package.

My present 9.3x74R DR is an N. Lejot built on a Merkel 203 type sidelock action in 1930. It handles and points like a 20 gauge. It took me a while to figure out the right load...286 Nosler Partitions at 2300 fps... The added bonus is the second set of barrels in 16/8x57jr w/scope in claws.

It is now decision time. I have it for sale, but am not pressed to sell it. I'd like to get back over for one more buffalo hunt, and this would get me much of the way there. The other alternative is to keep it and have it scoped in either a 4x or 6x Hensoldt rail mount w/claws. I have the scopes.

If I keep it I will be looking to have a set of 16 ga barrels made for it. Who does this kind of work at a price an average mortal could afford?
