DM,

Yep decisions, decisions...If there are big brown bears around, I'll take the 9.3!

Nice to hear from somrone who's hunted this country with a drilling. Contrary to popular belief, a stainless/synthetic gun is not mandatory to hunt in AK. If you truly enjoy hunting with the classics, it can be done; you just have to want to do it, and be willing to make the extra effort to care for them in the feild.

Rehards,

Jeff,

I've found my "rust blued" drilling much easier to keep the rust off from that any blued gun i've had in the field... Even on extended hunt it needs almost no maintance!!

As for the 9.3x74R, it's one of my favorites... I have a combo and a DR in that cartridge, and i have now been playing with an "improved" chamber for them. I haven't chronographed them yet, but i'm sure it's going to give that old cartridge a pretty good boost, and i can still fire std. 9.3's in it...



Anyway, when i get more time, i'll wring it out!
