9ThreeXFifty7,

This may be something to consider when/if I pick up the 9.3x62, as I'm not familiar with relatively heavy kickers, aside from my Marlin 1895, which feels about the same as a .338. There was an article in Rifle Magazine a while ago by Alaskan guide, Phil Shoemaker, whose fibreglass-stocked Model 70 in .458 has been modified considerably until it fit him like a glove. Unlike yours, the results were NOT pretty- it's been nicknamed "Ole Ugly", perhaps largely due to the Rustoleum paint job but when things get nasty it no doubt lines up fast.

ps to OzHunter: Nice zebra (and the rifle isn't shabby, either). Zebra is on my list when I go.
