I have two bags of 264 WM brass for sale. 140.00 shipped on my dime. its Winchester unopened bags.

I know 1000 to 1 is very optamistic!

You need to have the entire barreled action checked it takes a lot of force to bend the last six inches of barrel. This is a safety issue you Must address! Once you are sure the action is safe you can replace the barrel.

I would caution sinking alot of money into a 7600. You would be better off buying a used rem 700 with that coin.

most outtfitters cringe when they hear 7mag(I know I am an Elk hunting guide)I say 30-06 limit your shots on Elk to 250 yards other wise they tend to get away.

In that caliber I would go with the ruger CRF hawkeye. I have one and its a great shooter for an untuned factory rifle. But to deviate from the list a little I would build one on a trued remington 700 action,get a HS stock a jewel trigger and a shilen barrel. but thats just me I can do all the...

The bolt plays a huge part in the accuracy of a rifle! If I could only work on one part it would be the bolt!

No you dont have to get a coustom bolt . The smith will work it till it is true and concentric to the axis of the bore/action. Don't buy into the custom actions are problem free about 75% of them are off too just ask any smith worth his salt.
