Re: Hagn single shot

SHARPS,
Went to Reno to see the hartmannWeiss as well as the Hagn lads.
In my mind the Hagn reciever is the finest falling block in exhistence.
I cannot criticise the choice of 375H&H, but one round that suites the Euro origin Hagn to a T, is the 9.3x74r.
It can be made into a lighter rig(easily under 9lb scoped)
I particularly like the rim of the 9.3 cause it affords such a positive grip when pulling rounds out of a cartridge belt.
With a trim 26" tube and strong fallingblock action,the 9.3x74r has great potential.
Nosler quotes their 9.3x74 286gn factory load at 2430fps (24" barrel?)
As much as I appreciate the 375H&H, be it single ,double,or superb bolt like the HartmannWeiss magnum mauser, I find it very hard to pass up a more trim/ carry all day 9.3x74r or Std.98-9.3x62.
