Larry Craven got back to me quickly, changing the twist would require a trip through the custom shop and would cost $1968.37 plus shipping. With the new stock he said weight would be 7 lbs 2 oz which isn't bad.

I would definitely prefer a 1 in 8 twist on a 264 WM but it does sound like the Winchester 1 in 9 264's shoot all but the most sleek 140's well.
