Please research some of my previous posts here and on www.accuratereloading.com on ther use of the 9,3x74R.

I highly recommend,with out reservation,that you scope it,with a scope with an illuminated reticle.

On my 9,3 Chapuis I have a 30mm Swarovski 1.5x6x42 with the illuminated circle dot reticle.

The Chapuis is a fairly dainty 9,3 and I do not feel that scope hinders the handling in any way.

If you prefer a smaller scope the the S&B Zenith 1.1-4 with the illuminated flash dot reticle would work fine. I have one of them on my 450/400, and on my drilling.

Trust me you should scope your 9,3.
