[QUOTE="jomoeng, post: 1141972, member: 86673"] So my dad has asked me to help him get a Sake L61R 264 win mag re-barreled. Seeing as how this will be mine one day, I am reviewing his calibers and mine together to search for something new. Between the two of us here is what we either have or already have in the works: 270 6.5 creedmoor 6.5 Sherman Mag 300 win mag 257 weatherby mag His made over moisen nagant. I know nothing about that caliber. 375 h&h 35 whelen We are looking for another deer rifle and frankly between the two of us I can't think of any calibers we are in need of that would work with the bolt face on the 264 win mag. We discussed just having it a new barrel in the same caliber but with the sherman having nearly the same velocity and more efficient case design, it doesn't seem to make sense. We would just get another Sherman built. I looked at the 284, 280, another Sherman Mag, 6.5 stw, 7mm stw. My dad isn't particularly interested in the 7mm calibers although I wouldn't mind a 7mm stw. Nothing seems to excite me at this point as something new that we don't already have covered. Most of our shots are under 600 yards on deer. We don't really need an elk rifle or varmint rifle. Thanks, Joe [/QUOTE]
