[QUOTE="OR_98, post: 1974442, member: 115411"] This really has gotten me thinking (always dangerous). I have been adamant about owning a .264 WM, and thought I basically had three options: (1) Sendero or an old Classic (the the one mentioned in the original post), (2) Model 70, or (3) custom build. I’ll probably still get the Classic - I’ve got time to mull it over - but now I’m wondering about another option - Tikka T3x in 7MM RM or 300 WM, and then paying to rebarrel to a .264. I could probably pick one up for $700-800 - and I assume the old Sako barrel would have some value, so net cost would be less. Then $800 for custom barrel and work. So for maybe $1,500 I have what should be a lighter-weight shooter with the exact barrel I want. Hadn’t considered this option before because I didn’t know it existed! I know that’s more than the $850 for the Classic, but it’s still far less than a custom rifle. I’m intrigued. Am I over (or under) thinking things here? [/QUOTE]
