New 264 Win Mag on the way!

Well after much discussion on this sight and several back and forth I had finally pulled the trigger on a new 264 Win Mag. I ordered the barrel from Jim almost 7 months ago.... Guess Shilen was a little back ordered.... Well after a not so patient wait it finally arrived today! I am like a kid at Christmas!!!! Not gonna get in any hurry tho cause I still have to send off the bolt body to be flutted.... and maybe a new trigger.... But she is actually gonna happen.

I want to say thank you all for your advise on this project. I will keep you informed how it comes together....

264 WinMag a man after my own heart, there is no denying that is one nasty round.

You are probably going to shoot 140s or something of the sort, but if ever you want to turn that rig into they ultimate varmint set up,
I have some 85gr Sierra HP loads that travel @ 4200+ FPS, and defy gravity well past 500 yards.

Dean

4200 FPS!!!! Holly Batman, is that fast! I started this out to shoot 140's for antelope but as I did not draw a tag AGAIN this year.... Smoking some yotes would be awesome......

Ryan

You can get 4000 FPS easy, and not even be close to signs of pressure.

Dean,

I just got it all together! Setting the headspace took a little more than I expected but its done! It was my first time setting the headspace on a belted mag. I used one of your bolt lift kits! Its smooth as butter!!!!! Its a little shorter throated than I was hoping but I dont think its going to be an issue at all. Im waiting on my rings to get here to shoot it.

Sounds good, what rings?

Dean

I went with with Burris extreme tactical...... I love those rings! They are bullet proof and dont move.
