Ok, here is the link from GI. https://www.gunsinternational.com/g...ar-264-win-mag.cfm?gun_id=102185924#lg-2IMHO, that is a $750 gun. Recoil pad is bad. Stock is rough Bluing is rough and thinning. No offense but it could be one that Big Stick owned and threw on a asphalt pile before he threw it in the creek. Chances are you will have to pay Taxes and shipping. You might offer $750 shipped and see what they say. Any more than that, all in, I would pass. JMHO. GWB

My buddy was in the USAF in the 60s . At the Rod & Gun Shop in the Azores they had Sako Finnbears in .308 or .30-06 for $105.00 That was a lot of money back then but still cheaper than here. Soup

Personal druthers. Leave the A-series guns for me! Later models with hunter style stocks, teardrop bolt handle and non-Williams iron sights. Need a .25-06 still.

Thanks for the heads up on that 264! I’ve always like Sako’s even though I don’t own one. I almost bought that one, again thanks. One of the first rifles was a 264 and I sold it when I needed money in school. To me the 264 is so much better now than it was in the 60’s due to much better bullet selection. I’m thinking maybe a 700 Classic…

Just got my 1970 L579 in .243 win today. Total quality in a 53 year old rifle. Yes, old world craftsmanship. Surpasses my new Win m70 supergrade.

I don't know if they are desirable but I have two Hi-Powers. Left is a 300 H&H and the right is a 270 Winchester. The 270 was my fathers that he picked up when he got out of the Coast Guard in 1966. Until 7-8 years ago it had a Leupold M8 7.5x scope. I replaced it with a Bushnell Elite 4200 1.5-6. I just picked up the 300 for short money and it has been heavily modified. Has a double set trigger, Pecar 3-7 scope and a quick detach scope mounting systems. Someone also put an ivory inlay in the stock and the recoil pad needs replacing. Overall I thought it was a pretty cool rifle for less than the cost of a Ruger American.
