Lets see your .264's

[SJB358]

It is a classic, cool rig TB.. I am pretty amped to shoot this little 6.5, that's for sure!

 

[tddeangelo]

I do have another 264-cal rifle. I'll have to get a pic soon....

 

[257 Ackley]

6.5 WSM built on a Winchester action, and a 26" Brux 8 twist barrel (#4 contour). There is about 400 rounds down the barrel now. This shoots the 130 Scrirocco or 140 hunting VLD into nice small groups.

When I first got it:





Long distance p-dog shooting:


Elk hunt 2012:


Testing the limits with the 130 Scirocco:


There are a couple more in 6.5X55 in a Luxus and 6.5X47 Lapua being built on a pre-64 model 70 that will have to be posted another time.

 

[FOTIS]

Wow Faster than the 26 nosler! 3450 with a 130 gr?

 

[257 Ackley]

I've backed off that load a bit now Fotis. It was a bit warm and an accuracy load was found with R25 that lopes along at about 3350.

 

[257 Ackley]

This was shooting it with Scotty and Brian with 130 accubonds and MagPro.



I think some have seen this pic...Brian's buddy isn't getting ready to squeeze one off :lol:

 

[257 Ackley]

I need to take better pics, but here's my 264. It now wears a 4-12x50bt Swaro z3. Jim, you need one of these..... :twisted:

Nice!!!

 

[DrMike]

Fine looking rifle, Joel. It could quickly become a favourite, I imagine.

 

[SJB358]

That 264WSM is a sweetheart of a cartridge. Very nice combo of speed and a danged handy rifle.

Joel don't you have a 10 shot bug hole with that rifle?

Yep...couldn't find it this morning and I am sitting in Florida soaking up sun and don't have access to some of my other pictures.

Wouldn't be complete without a representative of the 6.5 Rem Mag

Rebarrel of a 300 win mag with a 26" Douglas barrel, McMillan stock, Zeiss 4.5x14x44 RapidZ 800

130 gr Scirrocco II at 3175 fps really smacks em good

 

[nvbroncrider]

What a great set of rifles guys!!! They are all awesome.

 

[SJB358]

Woods, that's an awesome 6.5RM! Very nice. Great buck too.

That 130 Swift is trucking. Have you taken many animals with the Scirocco?

 

[DrMike]

You've done a beautiful job with that rifle, Woods. It is most attractive; and it appears to deliver the goods. The 6.5 RM does seem to be a grossly underrated cartridge.

 

[Horsethief]

6.5mm Creedmoor with 140gn SSTs @ 100 yards.

 

[maverick2]

Here's my 264. It's a TC Icon Precision Hunter chambered for the 6.5 Creedmoor. It wears different glass now (Leica instead of the Zeiss shown) but is a nice rifle to carry and shoot. Logged quite a few miles with it this fall.

A handful of deer, several hogs, a couple of coyotes. Haven't trapped one of the SSII's yet, just small entry and 50 cent exit, but all dead right there

The 6.5 rem mag is a good option if you have a win mag action and want to rebarrel. It is a short action but typical mag lengths in the win mags allow you to seat those long 6.5 bullets way out there

Like a sexy little goth girl with that SSII :twisted:

 

[Wyo7200]

Ya'll seen this 6.5 Creedmoor before, but now it has its 6x24 pst sitting on top of it. ... Debating on threading the barrel for a suppressor that I have coming. Just can't picture it with a flash hider or thread protector on it.

Savage max 1
Mdt tac21 chassis
Timney trigger
Luth-ar MBA stock
Magpul moe grip
Vortex 6x24 pst
Vortex pmr rings.

When the city thaws out and I get my scope leveled there will be some better pics.

 

[Thebear_78]

Looks like I’m back in the 6.5mm fold. Not sure if this will stay 260 or turn into a 260 AI.

 

[preacher]

Beautiful rifles guys! My camera wigged out, hung up on video so its off to repair. Its just as well as my Mod 7 / Shilen bbl 6.5 Creedmoor isn't ready yet! I saw my first 6.5 Rem Mag in the used gun rack at LGS, a butt ugly 673 Guide Gun, space age barrel vent rib and all! I "considered it" until I researched availability of brass/ammo...put it right in there with the the .250 Savage, .284 Winchester, ad (Obama inspired) nauseum! ha. I have a childhood friend down in SE Texas who still uses a Remington 700 BDL in .264 Winmag. He only shoots it a bit during the year, but has/still does kill hogs/deer every year with it. He never complains about its 24" barrel. Seems to me a 26-27" tube would be sweet!
