Looking at getting a winchester m70 Super Grade. Need some caliber advice

[Offfhand]

Quoted from above post:
"The .264 is obsolete and ammo and brass plus acceptable hunting bullets are hard to find."
I agree that .264 Mag ammo may be hard to find at your local Wallyworld , but there is no problem getting brass from the usual suppliers. And as for "acceptable hunting bullets" apparently the poster is unaware that the .264 Mag is actually 6.5 caliber and that there is a tremendous variety of superb 6.5 hunting bullets available. And speaking of .264 Mags, attached is a photo one of my pre-64 M-70 Win. rifles in this caliber. I've owned it for over 30 years and have upgraded scopes on it three times, as better scopes have been introduced. This current scope is the Leupold VX-L 3.5-10X50mm. After over 1250 rounds, I see no loss of accuracy, which in any case has always been quite good.

Fun day at the range today. Got it to where all the bullets were going into the bullseye at 100 yards. Not quite touching, but that is probably more to do with me not being a bench shooter.

Next time I go, I will see how she shoots without the sand bags.

That's a good looking rifle!
