I bought one a while ago to rebarrel to a wildcat. Now it has a new Winchester barrel back on it. It has not shot well for me. It's about a 1.5 MOA rifle except with a Lapua 123 gr bullet and then it's only about 1.25 MOA.
I bought a new synthetic stock for it rather than mess up the collectors value of the pre 64 stock. That did not help.
I have put very little time into this rifle but it's in the back row and not in the for sale row.
I picked up a model 70 sporter mag pf in 264 a few yrs ago and just recently shot it for the first time. I have no plans on selling even though I could use the $.

I have a westrener that has around 1500 rds through it (take that all you nay sayers). I have not used this rifle much recently as I purchased a ruger in .264.
My buddy has the carbine version. Ever see three foot flames jump from a 20" barrel. Unfortunatley that set up makes for a very loud, flamethrowing .270

Sounds about consistant with other stories I've heard about the carbines only yours is a little more graphic and colorful. Makes me wish I could see one in action! But from a far distance away! Probably wouldn't be a good choice for these parts as dry as it often gets by deer season it probably would be more flamethower and less deer rifle!

POP, We would be interested to know how much RL-25 you're using for the 125 Nosler Partitions. I have a Super Grade Classic like yours. The throat seems a little short. How far off the lands are you seating those Partitions?
