[QUOTE="Don Ward, post: 454115, member: 19118"] As stated, you have a classic rifle and chambering that might be better off left unmolested. If you do decide to rebarrel and start tweaking things, staying with the 264 would keep the classic chambering and provide plenty of performance. The 264 is the parent case for the 7 mag and the 6.5 140VLD has the same basic BC as the 7mm 168VLD but you get to launch it faster. It makes for a real performer. The 7 mag is great as well and is a super platform for balancing a heavier bullet with shooter-friendly recoil, but a pre 64/264 is old school cool.:cool: [/QUOTE]
