Looking To Purchase A Rifle In 264 Winchester Magnum

[Jgarner197]

I probably “need” one like I need another hole in my head if you ask the wife but I have an itch I just can’t seem to scratch. I am looking to purchase something in 264 win mag. I’ve always wanted one and would love to have a side by side comparison with my 257 Weatherby Magnums. Scoured all the auction sites and nothing seemed to call out to me. If anyone has something in 264 that they may want to part with I would be interested. I tend to lien towards Winchester Model 70s but I am totally open with manufacturers for this little endeavor. Thank you for your time.

I have a brand new Winchester model 70 Super Grade 264 Win Mag with hang tags still attached, new in the box. I would consider selling. I can send you some pictures tomorrow if you would like.

I would give this one a really hard look

And I would not even look at anything that does not have a 26" barrel. For the .264 Win this is critical, if you care to get the advertised velocity, which is the point of a .264 Win, right?

Mine is a Model 70 super grade with the French Walnut stock. It shoots 140 grain TSXs in half-inch groups. Love that rifle.

My sentiments exactly about the 26” barrel and why I wasn’t too interested in this one. My understanding was the L61R in this caliber was primarily in 24” barrel lengths?

Agree 100%. Get one with a 26” barrel.

with the ammo being so hard to find anymore...why not just get a 7mm mag? Great ballistics in 140/160 grn loads and bunches more! Good luck with what ever you do!

A very valid point. I have a rifle in 7mm Remington magnum and love it. I guess this is more of a want than anything as it’s “different” and I tend to have a taste for that.

 

[gprippers]

you would be at 257 wby/264 wm/7mm (284) rem mag! LOL! I guess you would have a group of rifles no bigger then .027 at the max size difference. Wants are wants though! LOL! You got the smaller lightning fast catridges handled between the 257wby and the 7 rem mag so jump up to between a .30 and 338 lightning fast carts! .257/.284/.3?? and there you go! LOL! 300 norma mag, 338 norma mag, 308 norma mag is a dandy...i have two and i might put one up for sale here in the next few days or so. I like the 308 norma mag better then 300 win mag if you handload as it has a longer neck and will take heavier bullets then the win mag. Anyway, just started thinkin and typing! LOL! Good luck with it!

A glaring hole in my collection has always been the .34 caliber as I do not own one. My collection goes straight to .375 from .30. I am partial to the 300 H&H for the .30 caliber realm but I suppose I do have a speed demon .30 cal in a 300 Remington Ultra Magnum that my father gifted me after taking a scope bark across the brow lol! Working up loads and tinkering in the basement was a pastime I grew up watching and stuck with me as an adult. “Playing” around on the Forester Coax could keep me occupied for days. Thank you for all the kind words and wish of luck sir! Cheers

Why not find an action and have a new barrel made and fitted?

 

[TNDave]

I found a donor Howa and built a 264 WM with 26” Pac-Nor barrel, timney trigger and B&C stock, shoots under 1/2 inch at 100 yards. Didn’t need it in the least but just wanted something a little different. Good luck in your search.

Are my eyes deceiving me ?

If you have its .375 H&H twin, and love it, then it is a no brainer. It may be worth verifying with the seller the barrel length, but I doubt very, very much that it is not 26"; all the Finnbear .264 Win I ever saw advertised always had a 26" barrel (which makes sense). A quick "Finnbear .264 Win" Google search will confirm this

Some of the earlier guns had 26” barrels and the later guns had 24” was always my understanding. Upon my scouring I encountered plenty of current and old listings with 24” barrel lengths stated. The only 26” I found were early pre Garcia examples marked “bofors steel”. Either way I sent the seller a message to confirm barrel length

Awesome! I will cal you shortly sir

I love Model 70s and .264 Win Mag is one of my favorites, but Winchester needs to make their barrel twist 1-8" instead of 1-9".

 

[Jgarner197]

Thank you everyone for all the help. I have an offer pending on this Remington 700 Sendero Special SF-II in a Kuiu stock. It’s not a Model 70 but I can be a little rougher on this one without having to worry about beating up a supergrades stock. And I have a couple of triggertech triggers in a drawer that would go great in this if needed. My other 3 700s all shoot lights out so I should be able to make this one do the same.
