I crossed the 6.5 line

[feddoc]

Just picked up a 6.5 given me by an uncle who passed away in NM in September.

It's a pre64 M70 .264 WM and my second pre64.

It appears to be NIB. He knew I fancied this gun along, long time ago and I had almost forgotten about it until my cousin called.

I guess I'll be that dead uncle someday.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. "

Should be a shooter, that's a great caliber that mysteriously faded away for some reason.

I got one from my uncle as well and it is a pre-64 with a Mauser action on it. Expensive shells for it though.

Haven't shot it yet maybe this year

If it really is NIB and unfired, keep it that way! Great heirloom piece.
