I'm sitting about a mile from Bill Mowrey's old gunshop/gunsmithing business.
A close friend bought the property/shop many years ago, and recently retired from his own gunsmithing business.
Small world.....😉

Sorta reminds me of my old Remington 03-A3 sportier. Mine is not as pretty as that one but I only paid $325.00 for mine.

What in the Wide World of Sports is a .264 Bearcat? I tried my Google Fu on it and came up with nothin'.
Did a bit more digging and came up with this little blurb from an article discussing the .264 Thor on a European handloading forum,
One such experimenter was Wichita Falls, Texas, gunsmith Bill Mowrey (later of blackpowder Mowrey Rifle Co. fame). Bill necked down the 7x61 S&H and called his creation the 6.5mm Bearcat. Bill told me that his biggest problem in the mid-1950s was trying to find slow-burning powders suitable for the cartridge. Today, that’s not a problem.
So it appears to be a cartridge developed by Bill Mowrey, the builder of the rifle, and it's a necked down 7x61 Sharpe & Hart.

+It is exquisite rifle if only--you know, dang it. 264 Cat?
Smitty put a period correct scope on that, imo.

$325.00 how long ago??? I bought a brand new 94 Winchester for $71.00 from Reeses Sporting Goods in Williamsport, Pa. and they threw in a box of shells. But that was 1956 and I worked damn hard for that money on my paper route selling the Sun Gazette. If memory serves me, I got about 8-9 bucks a week, rain or shine.

I was living in Montgomery Alabama at the time so that would have been around 2001 about 22 years ago.
