[QUOTE="StanleyActual, post: 2686225, member: 119220"] As beautiful as the pre-64 is, it’s still a 70 y/o rifle and a 264 WM is not not a barrel friend caliber. If you’re opposed to modifying a pre-64 (ie re-barreling) and want a shooter more than a wall hanger, I’d steer clear of buying a pre-64 in a 264 WM. Id be looking to buy new”er” in that caliber. Something like a Sendero would be a nice buy. Factory twist rate is typically slower than what you need to run the heavier high BC bullets. That twist is gonna dictate your bullet choice. Great caliber. Especially if it’s setup to run the heavier bullets (ie 150+gn). Personally, I’d build it the way I want it. Factory guns alway seem to leave much to be desired in the twist rate department. Build with a 1:7:5t for the 156’s [/QUOTE]
