My 9.3x62 is a CZ Model 550 American. I can understand the devotion. Mine is just like it was when I took it out of the box and it shoots better than I can with both factory and handloaded ammo. Great guns at a good price.
That, in turn, reminded me that there was an extremely vocal group of members who told everyone and their brother that the only cartridge they should ever get is a
6.5x55 Swede. (Was RebelHog one of these?)
I've got a Rem 700 Classic (There I go again! 
) in 6.5x55 Swede. The Swede is a great little round, no recoil, effective on game and a round that has been around for a long time. Extremely popular in Europe. I use it back in CO for both deer and pronghorn and it works well.
Fads are interesting. Had these been going on when I came on the forum I'd have been heavily involved in the discussions.
