Last weekend while visiting my favorite little gun shop, they had a pristine M70 Sporter 264WM with nice wood and no visible marks or scars, other than some slight marring of the front action screw. Well, I looked it over and quickly put it down so I didn't try and bring it home. I kinda thought on it for a few days and called them a few days ago and asked if it was still available. They said they had it and would put it aside if I put a deposit on it. Well, I got busy at work and forgot about it.
Well, I woke up early today and called, in hopes that it was sold, and I would get past it. Well, they still had it, so I drove the 40 miles to check it out again. I asked them if they had a bore scope to check it out. It looked unfired, or barely used by the throat. I guess at nearly 50.00 a box for shells, unless your a handloader, it would be mighty expensive. Everything else looked great on the rifle, the checkering, blueing, crown and all the rest look great. I put some money down on it and will pick it up in a few days or a week. Wanna assemble some equipment for it, so it is ready to shoot once I get it home.
I hate having extra scopes lieing around and with the 4.5x14 VXIII with B&C sitting in my safe, I figured I needed a proper rifle for it! I had bought the scope in hope of Winchester building their 25-06 Sporters this year, but being I haven't seen them yet, I will have to shoot this 264 a little.
It seems like the Shooters Pro Shop had a bunch of 6.5 bullets like the 140gr PT, 125gr PT and some AB's for WEEKS, and now, when I look, all I see if Nosler brass! I will keep my eyes out and probably try some Hornady or something to get this rifle broke in. Scotty
