Re: 98 & 96 actions for 9.3x62
25/11/07 07:10 AM

I'm a proud Husqvarna 9.3 user. I have 2 FN '98 commercial actioned 9.3x62s and a '96 actioned 9.3x57.

I also own one of the later "commercial" '96 style rifles in 8x57. These rifles have an action with no allowance for a thumbcut for clip loading. They were, I believe, made in the postwar period. Although Husqvarna made some earlier 9.3x 62s on the standard '96 action, from what I've seen, the majority of the 9.3x62s on '96 actions are on this later, and much stronger action.

I have used standard, fairly stout loads, similar in performance to european loads, not US loads, in my commercial '96 8x57. I've also used Norma, Lapua, and Privi Partisan "factory" loads in my little 8x57. I believe these actions are very strong. If a 9.3x62, in this same model, were to pass my way for a reasonable price, and most of them are reasonably priced, I'd snap it up. These are the rifles that come from the same place where Norma and Lapua ammunition are made.

The same lack of safety lug and the gas deflection issues are still present. The magazines are the standard '96 length, and need to have bullets seated appropriately.

If you're a prudent reloader, and don't try to push a cartridge which, at least in my mind, really doesn't need pushing anyway, I don't think you'd be disappointed with one of these later styled Husqvarna rifles.

There's a Swedish Sporting Arms forum at www.gunboards.com with some folks with a wealth of knowledge on these rifles. You might give them a try.
