AM I CORRECT IN ASSUMING ALL PRE 64 70'S IN .264 WM came with SS bbls? Did they also have recoil pads or buttplates? I have been wathing 1 at the last 3 gun shows across the aisle from me that I want just for a shooter not collectible due it being drilled in the side for a G &H style scope mount , missing the front bbl screw, missing the rear sight and a stock that is at best 75%. The table owner is a dentist and friend and we traded and done deals in the past. He is asking $1295 , I think the more reasonable # would be $800 -850, what do ya'll think, or what are .264 's going for ? Best I remember the serial # put it late 50's early 60's.
Holy chidt, that guy is trying to put the screws to you. I hate to imagine what his dental costs are.... The last one I looked at was a fwt and they wanted $800.00 for it. That was about 3 months ago. There was also a very nice one in very good original condition for $1,100.00, but I am always looking for a really good deal. Neither one was a "real good deal". Is your dentist "friend" at least taking you to dinner first?
