[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 555346, member: 30902"] Well actually our local dealer had about 8 guns on the rack and one of them was a .264... . I know what you mean though. I honestly feel even more strongly about wildcats. One of the worst possible things that can happen to someone is to fly off some place for their "hunt of a lifetime" and find that their hard to come by ammo didn't make it... . Yes, indeed it can and does happen! The 6.5/264's have just never gotten the respect they deserve in this country that they have around the rest of the world so one does indeed have to be careful about picking one of them unless you have the time and budget to load up early and in large numbers on brass etc, or buy large lots of factory ammo because 5, 10, 20 years from now your favorite may not be around. Hopefully the .260 and 6.5x47 have enough of a following to begin changing that but we h ave a long history here of always looking for bigger, badder, and faster when it comes to our shooting in this country.
