Actually, the carbine was not mine until this morning, when the auction closed. You can see it under http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=76215331.

I have already had a conference with Clearwater Reboring and will be shipping the barrelled action out to them to have the carbine converted to 9.3X62. I don't need another .270 and the thought of shooting one with a 20" barrel is unnerving from a noise standpoint. With the velocity loss, the performance would be about the same as a 7X57, and burn a lot more powder.

This will complete my set of 9.3mm bolt guns, since I already have 9.3X57 and 9.3X64 on regular 98 Mausers plus a 9.3X74R on a Rigby Magnum Mauser action. It also caters to my taste for G&H mounts, although I'll have to think over using the Lyman Challanger scope. It has a non-centered reticle, which really demands some windage in the mount (Buehler or Redfield), plus it has a 26mm tube diameter. However, I have lots of 1" rings to choose from and I look to outfit the rig with something like a Leupold 1.5-5X VariX III.
