renfrowriidge,
The last chambering of this cartridge , other than custom,I think was a Remington 700 Classic, and I beleive that was in 1986. Anyway, I have a gundealer friend that has one new in the box for 849.00. Other than that, look on gunbroker, gunsamerica, etc. and be prepared to "pony up " the big bucks.

swampman should have said left hand if it is let me know will take it.

[thndrchiken]

Don't think it's being chambered by anyone. I'd say his best bet is to check the guns shows or auction sites.

RENFROWRIDGE,
Trying to find a nice 264 win mag is hard enough, now we're throwing LH into the mix? No, the one I know about is RH. However, I am a lefty, Ihave been shooting Rh actions so long I can't shoot a LH action. Good luck to your friend. That's gonna be a tough one!

Be careful if you buy one used. This caliber is very hard on barrels.

I would be a lot easier and cheaper to just buy a left handed 7 Mag and re-barrel it. The fact that this caliber is all but obsolete, however, is no coincidence, IMO.

It was a good caliber but ahead of its time. I should say ahead of its powders. When it came out there were not many good slow burning powders for it. That is no loonger true and it would be a fine long range deer antelope and elk cartridge. As mentioned above the best if not only way to get one would be to rebarrel a LH 7MM Mag. It may be a worth while conversion but you would gain nothing over the 7 Mag as is.
