[QUOTE="liltank, post: 530185, member: 13275"] This is exactly what I was thinking. Running Hornady 150 SST, or Berger 150 at the velocities a 270wsm can push them make it a viable 1000yd rifle. Of course shot placement is key, but the caliber is proving very capable. It puts you between the 270 Win. and the 270 Weatherby Mag. Matrix bullets make some exceptionally high BC hunting VLD style bullets. They are 165 and 175 grain bullets. Use a Savage target action in a Stockade stock with a Sin-arms barrel at 28"... you'll have a real shooter. The reason I suggest Sin-arms is due to the fact he uses Lothar Walther barrels and can get them to you in a shorter time frame. They use a harder stainless steel than any state side manufacturer. I have one in 308 and it shoots very well. It took about 8 weeks to get my barrel ordering through Lothar Walther out of Georgia. With hand loads I produce .25 to .5 MOA all day long. There are other barrel makers state side that make good barrels too. I would suggest Hart, Kreiger, Brux, McGowen, and Lilja. Savages are easy to work on if you want to build one on your own. You can put it together in your own home and have a world class shooter. The right tools are obviously required, but really aren't that expensive when you don't have to purchase a lathe to put it together. You need a barrel nut wrench, action wrench or barrel vise. I suggest the action wrench. The muscle break is also a very good option. Tank [/QUOTE]
