9.3x74 + $5K = 375
15/05/07 12:30 PM

I'm in the market for a "medium DR"......just started paying attention to prices. Most 9.3 fans say "it is in the same class as the 375"...? Ballistically it is 10-15% LESS than the 375 Flanged and 20-25% LESS than the 375 belted. It is still a very potent round, but lets be honest and say that it comes in 3rd when compared to the other two.

In terms of "new DR's", when you look at rifles; their cost, weight, and availability.... then it comes in first!!
It seems the Chapius in 9.3 (under 8 lbs) is available for about $5K but try to find a 375 belted or flanged and you are in the 10+ lbs and $9-10K area. The only 375 flanged that I could find on the same small 9.3 frame is the Heym 80-B ($10K)... Any others?

With it's modest but proven ballistics, lesser recoil, lighter rifles, readily available ammo (375 belted = availability but 375 flanged = No Way)maybe the 9.3 is THE modern medium. So I long for a 375 but think the 9.3 is not a bad second choice.

Your thoughts, comments?

Thanks, Jeff
