I have a Husky 146 GREAT rifle it’s a 9.3x62 Mauser which is more than enough gun for even the largest brown bear. A FRAME or Partitions @300gr8 with 2400+ for will kill reliably any animal on earth including Cape buff, hippo, or elephant all have been taken with that Mauser combo. I love my 9.3 only my 375 H&H in CZs gorgeous walnut 550 gets more love. I have fallen to the 375 song even in North America I use it anywhere things could get harry.

Get a Husky in 9.3 the ammo is easy to reload brass lasts forever and you can load down for smaller critters.

The appeal of a .358 NM in a Husqvarna is an excellent Swedish round in an excellent Swedish rifle. A 9.3x62 is on my list but down a ways. If I got one, I would look for one in a Mauser or possibly a CZ rifle.

I don't have any first-hand knowledge with these rifles because I've never had a need for mid-.30 caliber, so I'm relying on the ballistics charts. The 9.3x62 is a capable caliber but it doesn't seem to be the equal to the .358 NM. The .358 NM is very comparable to the .375 H&H in velocity and energy until you get into very heavy bullets that aren't available for the .358.
