This caliber keeps on being very popular in Europe. All gunmakers offer it on their doubles.
There have never been so many doubles here as today, because some brands have become affordable and they excel in some situation such as the big drives called montarias in Portugal and Spain. Owing to the very dense mediterranian bush the only way to hunt (mostly wildboar and red deer) consists in encircling large areas (up to several hundred acres) with posted hunters (20-40 aver. but sometimes 60 or even more) a releasing several packs of specialized dogs, literaly hundreds of them. You can't imagine the frenzy sometimes! It is no my favourite type of hunt but it surely has its charm.
Shots are usualy at short to very short range, with fast moving targets, through dense bush and more than often a quick second shot can make the difference. A double in a medium speed caliber with heavy bullets is the right choice.
The 9,3x74R has always been popular, with the 8x57JRS as a second option but far less common. Some years ago Blaser released its .30R for the same type of guns and for a while many predicted that it would be domesday for the venerable 9,3 but they were wrong.
I'm the happy owner of this old and lovely CCS 25 with which I share many memories.

My load:
CCI 250; 56 grains of Tubal 3000; 285 grains Teilmantel RWS, without crimmping for avr. 2320 f/s
