I once bought a used push feed M70 with a 24" barrel. It was a solid 1-1/2 to 2" rifle with everything I ever shot through it. Just for fun one day I tried the now discontinued Sierra 85 gr HP working up to a case full of H4831. Bugholes @ 3600+ fps for 3 or 4 shots until the barrel got hot. Spread over time for cooling, 5 or 10 shots would go into 1/4" or so. It was fun for a while, but not terribly useful except for the odd groundhog inside 300 yds. The Swift was a better killer to longer ranges burning about 1/2 the powder. One day someone had to have that .264 more than I wanted to keep it, so it went DTFR. Never really had the urge to buy another except for a limited run Ruger 77 tanger that remained NIB in the safe for 20 years. Someone just had to own that one too after it became somewhat rare & collectible.
