[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2118691, member: 103303"] Sounds like a great little project. 9.3x62's have a bit of a following up here in Canada. I have owned one and shot couple others. As far as barrel contour goes, going a little thicker than you think might not be a bad thing. I'm guessing the action and stock have a combined weight of about 4.5lbs. Finished with a light barrel, it could result in a whippy combination. .366 is a pretty good sized hole A heavier barrel (closer to 4lbs I would think) is going to provide a better balance. It'll point better and be easier to hold steady. It'll be more controllable under recoil too. I wouldn't say recoil is severe, but a little more weight out front helps tame the muzzle rise, especially with that much drop at the heel. Speaking of which, that stock begs for express sights. Just my opinion. Express sights beg for bluing... But then there is practicality. Stainless/ceracote and a 1-4x all the way! I feel your dilemma there, for sure, especially having hunted on the wet (west) coast. As far as projectiles are concerned, what are your goals? [/QUOTE]
