Winchester pre 64 7x57 supergrade

Gentlemen of the Africa Hunting forum I introduce 264(aka Mick); he will be surprising many of you with different rifles in the future and I assure you his attention to detail when it comes to rifles is a passion.

If I'm not mistaken; that is the Super Grade I shipped sling swivels for - Super Grade swivels, because only period true pre 64 Super Grade Swivels would do that rifle justice.... & I 100% agreed
Appreciated the swivels! Hope to return the favour one day cheers Mick
 
Welcome aboard Mick or 264 which ever you prefer. Your rifle is a sweetheart treat her well. I am curious about your moniker "264." Please explain. Obviously you are known by other AH members but you will soon be a "friend" to many of us.

Favourite calibre is 264WM. Ive had a few 264's and currently have a nice pre 64 in 264WM.

We both know you already return that favor and then some! -

Also, Mick I'd like to publicly say that I enjoy the fact that you actually hunt with your rifles and the pics that you post of the animals are so much better with your classic rifles in them.....not to mention the recovered bullets.
 
264, my favorite rifle for local hunting is the 6.5 x 55 Swedish Mauser stoked with my handloads pushing a 140 Gr. Partition at 2775 FPS or a 160 Gr. Woodleigh PP at 2604 FPS. I use AR 2209 which in the States has been rebranded as H 4350.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
