Thanks for the info, folks. Yes, I must ask the seller what model it is, as I gather that "Crown Grade" simply refers to a particular finish within a series. As to the calibre, yes, I notice that there are lots of 9.3 x 57's around. There is a company in Montreal (Tradex Canada) that has several of them on their website, along with 6.5x55 on the 96 action. I could also wait for a x57 in good shape and having it rechambered.
