New addition to the family
« on: February 11, 2019, 11:37:46 AM »
This is my first of probably many customs  :chuckle:
264 win mag, 26" barrel,  bedded action, polished trigger set at 1lb6oz, Boyd's stock, bedded nightforce 20moa rail, harris bipod, topped with a Zeiss v4 6-24x50, I have a set of seekins precision matched 30mm rings and a 1" kickeez pad in the mail. Hopefully next week I'll get a load worked up for some 140gr Berger vlds. Thanks everyone for the advice, couldn't be happier with the rifle  :tup:

264’s are fun
https://www.howlforwildlife.org/take_action  It takes 10 seconds and it’s free. To easy to make an excuse not to make your voice heard!!!!!!

Sweet set up!  You’re going to love hunting with that caliber. I’ve done a lot of work with the 264WM. 140VLD and H4831SC is a winning combo.

Very nice, have one myself. They do burn a lot of powder

Send me a PM when you're ready to start loading and I'll share what worked and what didn't work for me.

Already shooting 1 moa looks like  :tup:.  I was out there Saturday but stayed home yesterday.  Next meeting is tomorrow at 630.  Need to be there early for joining though.  It'll probably be a full house with renewals.

Pretty gun. Congrats on your new kid.
