Greetings,
After 20 years of exclusively bowhunting, I've retired the bow and picked up a rifle again. I'm the type of guy that will read ballistic tables for entertainment. I've always wanted to try the 264 WinMag, so last year I bought two. I bought a Remington Sendero and a Winchester model 70 super grade in 264 WinMag. Not having started to reload yet, I have settled on Nosler 130 grain AccuBond factory loads. The Sendero shoots about 0.5 MOA with this ammo, but I will be putting an aftermarket trigger on; any trigger recommendations?
On the other hand, The Winchester is pretty much a basket case. It never approached the level that the Sendero could shoot, the best groups being 1 to 2 MOAs, and yesterday it started not being able to hold a zero. This is such a beautiful gun, I'd really like to turn it into a great hunting rifle. It's also lighter than the Sendero, and I'd like to use it when I plan on doing more hiking on a hunt. So…, any recommendations for accurizing this gun?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
