[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 998284, member: 10178"] Never had the opportunity to hunt Antelope but if I had a Rem 700 mag action and wanted a looooooog range Antelope rifle it would be a 264 Win mag with as long a barrel as I could reasonably come up with. Oh wait that is exactly what I have.:D Mine has a Shilen #4 that is 27 3/4" long. Only thing I would change is it would have an 8 twist instead of the 9 twist that I have so I could shoot 140 gr bullets. I got the rifle in a trade from my buddy that had the rifle built with a 28" barrel blank that he got in a trade and that was the reason for the 9 twist 27 3/4" which was all they could get. Mine shoots under MOA with 130 Accubonds at 3350 fps with Retumbo. Talk about a bullet getting on game quick. I bean field deer hunt and the first deer I shot with this rifle was just a touch over 400 yards and I could not believe how fast I heard the POP of the bullet hitting that deer. That deer was dead and on the ground before the rifle came down out of recoil which is really light. I have been a long time 25-06 shooter and it is near and dear to my heart but this 264 Win mag is starting to get a warm spot in my heart. :D [/QUOTE]
