[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1376749, member: 101755"] It looks like to me you need a magmun 6.5... 264wm with a 26" tube...especially if you are limiting your self to 700 yards shots. My 300wm has a 26" but I'm limited by action length to bullets and just barely can use 168gr Bergers...any way the 264wm out shined it yesterday out to 600yds. I'm getting ready for a exotic sheep hunt that I "think" long to x-long shots will be norm. So I have been tuning up the two for the hunt. It will be hard to not use the 264wm as my primary shooter. Get a longer barrel and hit the barber shop before the trip...get a fresh hair cut and shave to save weight! :cool::cool: [/QUOTE]
