[QUOTE="Bobby B, post: 883393, member: 40378"] For me on a personal level, I just wanted one and I had wanted one since '75 when I graduated and an old friend told me it was his favorite whitetail rifle and all the reasons why. But it had always been a case of wanting one until 2 years ago when I found a nice 700 BDL in .264 in a pawn shop while there just looking around. I have shot a few more than a box of shells thru it now, all at paper. The first box was Winchester 140 grain Power - Points. After shooting and just getting used to the way it felt and shot, I finished that box up with a 3 shot group at 100 yards that I could cover easily with a quarter. The nest box was Nosler Trophy Grade 130 grain AccuBonds. My son and I went to a local range last Sunday to see what it would do since I am going deer hunting with it this weekend. The first shot at 100 yards was just low and right of the black center. Zach made the adjustments for me ( I didnt have my glasses ) and the next 2 shots were in 1 egg shaped hole. That 3 shot group was still just under an inch. Zach needed to shoot his rifle and then leave to meet a buddy to go hunting so we called that good for the time being. So, answering the question in the title here, [B]264 Win Mag - Y would anyone want one?[/B], for me it's just a simple case of I wanted one to hunt with and I got it. I'll be the first to say there are probably faster, or harder hitting or even cheaper to buy factory ammo for than a .264, but, when you want something, that's good enough for me. [/QUOTE]
