built. It is one of our African Classics built on the Winchester Model 70 action. It is chambered in 9.3 X 62, which is a very powerful caliber. It is the only caliber under 375 that is allowed for dangerous game in Africa. Hornady makes the ammo and it is great ammo. The cartridge is one of those unusual ones in that is has almost the power of the 375 H&H but the recoil of a hot 30-06. The 9.3 X 62 was Jack O'Conner's favorite caliber for big game and dangerous game animals in Africa and Alaska.

The gun is finished is a soft satin finish which shows the nice figure in the wood. It also has the ebony forend tip and grip cap. It has the Decelerator pad for easy shooting. It has express type rear sight and a red fiber optic front. The action is super smooth and reliable as all the model 70s were. It is also very accurate. Colleen is taking one of these rifles to Africa next April chambered in 275 Rigby, another very popular African caliber. This beauty would normally be around $2650 with us furnishing the base gun, but is sale priced at $1895 plus shipping.
