Have not used the 264 but the Partition would never be a choice as well as the Barnes LRX. These and the Accubond and Interboad have worked great in my 6.5x55.

A friend got the Tikka in 300WSM which allegedly kicks less than the 300WM and it was too much for him. He ended up getting a muzzle break. this partly due to too much load work up with 60 + shot strings.

Although maybe not cost effective the 264 with an edge stock and a lighter scope would be an excellent mountain rifle. Even a light 264 is fairly manageable in the recoil department.
