Ok so I gave in. New rifle!

[FOTIS]

Model 70 Super Grade 264 Maggie. Never fired. :mrgreen:

 

[nvbroncrider]

That wasn't so hard! Beautiful rifle buddy can't wait to hear the range report. 140's @3200!

 

[wayno945]

Very nice! I'd be afraid to take that out in the field!

 

[brianwyo]

My God that is a work of art and a .264 to boot. Very cool Fotis.

 

[DrMike]

Congratulations on a great find, Fotis. That is a sweet looking rifle, for sure.

Very nice looking gun. Lots of great long range bullets for you to choose from maybe you can snag some of the new 129 gr ABLR's for it. I really like the 130 gr Swift in my 264 WM, they are sleek and tough enough to handle the extra speed.

 

[FOTIS]

Thanks guys.

What is your load buddy?

 

[gerry]

I use Retumbo in mine at 3200 fps from the 24 inch barrel, had it up to 3300 fps with the same accuracy but opted for the first load. The Swift builds pressure quicker with it`s copper jacket than bullets with guilding metal jackets so start around 62 gr Retumbo and work up. I went to Hodgdon`s max or 63.5 gr with the 140 gr AccuBond and Partition with no problems.

 

[FOTIS]

Sweet Thanks

Nice looking rifle, it is not often that you get to own a scarcer caliber with a Select Plus stock on it! Hope it shoots as good as it looks?

 

[Guy Miner]

Nice!

Congrats.

Nice Fotis! real nice..I just love that wood buddy 8) ..Lou

 

[FOTIS]

Thank you. I got the dies. I ordered Nosler brass and a box of 140 accubonds.

 

[SJB358]

Fotis, that thing is beautiful! I'm so glad you grabbed it.

Your the one that urged me to try RL25 and I have not been disappointed in the least. I run the 140 AB and BT at 3200 with Nosler cases and CCI250's. Accuracy is excellent in my gun as well. I can't wait to see how yours does as well.

 

[Woodycreek]

Very nice find!

 

[Hegland]

Beautiful!

[Idahotrophyhunter]

Keeping the weaver grand slam or going to re glass?

 

[EOD Diver]

That's one bad mamba jamba! Congrats on a fine rifle and look forward to hearing how your load development goes.
