Hunting with the 264 Win. Mag - 10/14/19
I thought I would post this here since many of you helped me along with this rifle when I first got it.
Finally had the chance to take the rifle my Dad gave me hunting. It's a pre-64 M70 Westerner in 264 Win Mag that he bought new and used for many years. My Dad was along for this hunt but stayed back at camp during this last evening hunt, so didn't get him in the picture. The rifle originally had a Redfield scope on it that he bought at the same time as the rifle and I intended to use that scope as well and keep it all original. However, after shooting it quite a few times with poor accuracy, I finally determined that the scope was the problem so replaced it with the Burris seen here.
Was looking for a bigger buck but only had two days to hunt and shot this little guy at last light from 360 yards. Wish I could have gotten closer, but the old rifle did the job. Was shooting my handloads with 140 gr. Nosler Partitions.
