[QUOTE="OR_98, post: 1972871, member: 115411"] First-time poster, long-time lurker... I’ll get right to it - I have an opportunity to buy a mint (<20 rounds) Rem 700 Classic .264 WM for $850. I believe it was manufactured in 1986. I’ve been wanting a .264 WM for as long as I can remember (literally decades...don’t ask why it’s taken me so long) and I grew up in a Remington 700 family. As far as factory rifles, I think right now a Sendero SF II or one of the Model 70 offerings are my only options, and neither one really floats my boat (I’m aware of the well-documented Remington QC issues in recent years and I’ve never been a Model 70 guy). A custom job is out of my price range right now. I’m thinking about buying this rifle, immediately replacing that factory 24” 1:9 with a high-quality 26” 1:8. This would be a Western (I live in Southern Oregon) deer and elk gun. I’d like it to be a tack-driver, but I’m not looking for some 1,000-yard monster. Thoughts? Is my plan a reasonable one or are there better options I’m not recognizing? This just seems like a fairly unique opportunity and I don’t want to pass up a good thing (if that is in fact what it is). Happy to be here (officially) and looking forward to the wise input of this board. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
