I have a 4 digit Sako in 264 that may or may not be factory.
Been used quite a bit, a lot of little marks in the stock.
Bought it cheap in the 90's, acquired brass, dies...
Never have even possessed a loaded round?
Been pondering getting it out, but there are so many others sitting
there ready to go, and the Sweede easily covers our deer hunting.
A very respected, and missed, hunting companion had an original
Stainless barreled M-700 bought new. He used it, and a German 300WBY
from Qubec to Idaho. Ground hogs to Moose.
140gr Hornady's were his choice, over IMR4831. And a lot of it, maybe too much. Getting ready for my first trip out West, Lee came up to check zero when he knew I was working loads for my 7mm mag.
Ask if I wanted to shoot his guns. I was 18 so, "Hell yeah"!
The 300 was first. My first go around with any 300 mag, I was intimidated.
Nice, not bad at all.
Then the 264.
That SOB punched the [bleep] out of me!
No idea why, but that damn thing was nasty!
