[QUOTE="Greywolf18, post: 276108, member: 14172"] I have finally decided what I want to do for a custom. I have written on here several times looking for advice for a custom build. I have an older model 70 in 30-06, and another one in .270. Since the 30-06 had pitted due to flooding in a basement I want to redo it. I want to take it and make it into a varminter in 6mm Remington. I want a 26-28" heavy barrel. I was just wondering how much it would be to get the gun worked over and rechambered and accurized. I was thinking a 1-13 twist and will be shooting 75g V-Max's. I would really like this gun to be under 1/2" MOA shooting these bullets so I am looking for a reputable gunsmith, but at the same time I do not want to take out a 2nd mortgage to get it. Still haven't decided on a stock either, any suggestions? The next project would be converting my 270 into a 280 or a 6.5-06, but that will have to wait until my wife wins the lotto and lets me do it :D There's nothing wrong with the 270, just want something different. Thanks again for the advice everyone!!!gun) [/QUOTE]
