I think the 9,3x62 is a GREAT chambering. The coloration of the production Savage is bit beyond the pale for me.

Rifles in the chambering are light and handy ... easy to carry all day. Recoil and muzzle jump is only moderate. Mine are accurate. They kill like the Hammer of Thor.

The 9,3x62 is WAAYYY more effective than the ballistics would suggest. I have taken deer and hogs in the US with it ... all DRTs. In Africa I've killed Impala, Warthog, Bush Pig, Reedbock, Kudu, Blue Wildebeast, and Zebra with it. Only the Kudu was not a DRT.

Makes for an ideal rifle for moderate ranges for use in areas where you might run into something than might want to eat you.
