Re: Scope Magnification Range for the 9.3x62
16/08/10 07:12 PM

I love the 9.3x62 and have a barrel in that caliber for my Blaser. The only African game I have ever taken was with a borrowed 9.3x62. But it only has a point blank range of about 220 yards. Its trajectory and muzzle velocity are close to that of a .416 Rigby or .416 Remington. I would not purposely take it on a hunt where I thought I might have to engage game beyond 250 yards. Beyond that, I’ll take a .338 Win Mag. So 6x on top is plenty.

As has been stated, it can be used on driven game in Europe or hunting Texas hogs in tight brush. So I would want at least 60’ FOV at 100 yards on low power. A Swaro Z6i can get that at 1.7x. A 1.75-6x Lupy won’t. So do you really need a given low power, or do you need field of view?

The US military figures its recruits are capable of utilizing a 7mm exit pupil in low light. But I’m not 19 any more. So if it will give me a 5mm exit pupil at 6x, that’s probably all I can see anyway – so 30mm min objective. I don’t like a big heavy scope on a 9.3 so I probably wouldn’t want over a 42mm objective max.

The 9.3 isn’t a magnum, but kicks more than an ’06 – so maybe 3.7” min eye relief.

Definitely illuminated reticle so I don’t have a problem making out my aiming point in low light.

I believe several scopes already mentioned will fit these criteria. JabaliHunter mentioned wishing Swaro would bring out a 1-6x 32 or 36 and that would be perfect for a 9.3x62. If they would bring out a Z6i in 1.2-7x36 or 1.4-8x42, which in a Swaro Z6 should have at least 90-100’ FOV at 100yds, it would cover all big game uses except maybe ultra long range mountain hunting with a .270, 7mm Rem Mag, .264 Win Mag or the like.
