Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 264 Win. Mag.

I'm thinking about a #3 contour(BROUGHTON) as well would ANYONE oppose a #3 for a lightweight 264WinMag? If so why................does anyone have a #3 264WinMag.

I've owned 4 of them and keep going back.

YES SIR!!!!!!!!!! I knew someone had one and GLAD it was you MAN that's pretty what is the twist and how and what does it shoot best Guy!!!

What does their #3 measure at the muzzle? I've got a #3 Lilja that is more or less sporter weight. Measure .625 and the muzzle. Works well, but if you plan on doing a ton of hiking with it, I might consider going to a #2.

Here's A Sako .264 WM w/ a #3, and With it is a pre 64, also a .264, but a factory 26"

Popapi,

Just a regular 700 SS Factory all the way except for the
BC stock. 1/9 twist.
It loves 130 AB's and 130 Swifts at 3,300.

Broughton's #3 is also .625 at tha muzzle. Just want something around 6 1/2 - 6 3/4lbs W/O scope. Thinking of a Stiller Predator, Bansner High Tech SheepHunter Stock, and of course the #3 Broughton.

Fantastic!!!!! Powder? Weight of rifle? Doggone it I LOVE that B&C stock I have one on my 257WBY!!!!

Probably will be hard pressed to get into the that range with a 26" #3. My Rem 700, aluminum bottom metal, Talley Lightweights 18 oz scope (Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14x40 because I hate the look AOs), 27.5" Lilja #3, maple stock weighs 9 lbs 2 oz or was it 9.2 lbs? Something like that. Don't know what the stock weighs, but maple isn't very heavy.

WHOA...... I was thinking the ADL Bansner 17.2oz, Talley low lightweights, Swarovski z5, with Broughtons tube weighing 3 1/4lbs(3.25) BEFORE thread, chambering, fluting and crowning would be doable at the weights above.

That's a really lightweight stock, fluting should help a little too. Might be able to pull it off. My .358 Norma with BC Alaskan II, Talleys and a 12 oz scope went 7.2 lbs scoped with a #3 Douglas 24" tube, but that's a big hole in the barrel, removing a lot of steel. Still, if my stock was 27 ozs, it seems like that might actually be doable.

Though many don't seem to like 'em, I'd love to rebarrel a 8400 Montana to 264 Win Mag. With a sensible scope, one should be at about 7.5 pounds I'd think. I'm thinking it would hunt...

I hope so Ex we'll see!

Yeah, I love the idea of doing a Kimber action for a custom, but I can't stomach dropping $800 or $900 on an action yet. My two Remingtons were brand new at $300 each as 700 ADLs from WalMart. But if you want to step up in features and weight there's the Montanas, and you're still nowhere near what it would take to cannibalize a Kimber. Price you pay though, as folks do Dakotas, heavily 'smithed Mausers and Tis all the time. Maybe one of the these days...
Mean time, I better get started on this year's project before summer shooting season and elk season rolls around again.

From my seat in the cheapies, $1000 Montana and a $500 rebarrel puts one in the same ball park as a customized 700. I've got half that in my 223AI and still have the factory barrel. Plus, I'd really want the 3pos wing safety. There's multiple other routes that'd be a bit cheaper and have all the same features (Win 70, Ruger), but I'm not sure one could hit that weight as cheap.

OH?
What might that be my friend?

Dunno, no donor yet, so I'm not stuck on anything. I do need a new elk rifle, but I'm really digging the idea of some custom Mausers. However, I want a lightweight also, and I dang sure wouldn't be caught dead with a synthetic stocked Mauser. Plus I need a new muzzleloader for elk and the thought of doing a full on track of the wolf .58 cal long tom custom kick ass maple stock jobber in addition to one or two other rifles (lightweight elk gun, nice wood custom Mauser) is a bit much. So I need to compromise somewhere, probably just go with a Lyman GPR .54 cal with upgraded sights, and upgraded wood later. But I still want something elky in a centerfire, preferably lightweight. Basic answer, I don't know!

How much does this rifle way Guy?

With Leupold DD's and a Leupold Mark 4 4.5x14.x50 it weighs a scant 10 lbs 6 oz on a postal scale.

I figured it would be 9lbs or better scoped. 4 contuor right?
