With those actions and stocks.
I'd be thinking hunting rifles.
Pre 64s should be turned into big game hunting rifles.
A 270 WCF and a 375 H&H type of thing.
For plinking?
I'd pick up a PTG M700 with the bolt that has a small firing pin hole.And run a 6.5 x47, creed, or the straight up 260.
I know im spending your money.
But you asked..

Guys,
I read you... I've dropped the Pre-64 idea. Will leave them for another day.
Dave,
I've heard Pacific screwed a lot of those receivers up on the benchrest forums. Can't find a particular train wreck, however, everyone talks knowingly about something wrong with their machining. I came THAT close to buying a couple Christmas before last when they were $499 with a 1 piece bolt trued. Nobody I have talked to likes the product.
I've got an in with Stiller and may try his Predator as long as it has a one piece bolt. I'd prefer a blueprinted Remington to be honest. That said by the time I buy a one piece PTG bolt I am in the Predator's price range.
Dunno. Think I am going to try a Shrike... Three contour at least and 23" minimum? That is fine. Will be stainless and stout but not over heavy.
Regards, Matt.
