9.3,
Your 9.3x57 that weights 5.5lbs, does it have a wood stock?
I was wondering, because I want a light weight, wood stock, and open sighted gun to ride in the scabbard of my saddle. I beleive I'm going to try and see if I can hunt from horseback next year. I can shoot a shotgun off most of our horses, but I'm not sure about a deer rifle...maybe they won't make me break my neck.
Wood, original HVA walnut stock somewhat trimmed down. Has the long 24" bbl, too. If I had two like it I'd lop one of them back to 19 or 20 inches and see what it would do. Ours hear gun fire all the time, but we don't shoot off of them. I do not normally hunt from a horse, but have shot grouse while dismounted and holding the shank.
