[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 586406, member: 9253"] I'd suggest a 7mm Rem mag L700. You can buy a used one for about the cost of having your 270 Rebarreled. That way you can keep your 270 for deer and not have to mess with changing bolts or stocks. Why is the 7RM better than a 280? Mostly it gives an extra 0.15" of space in the magazine for the heavier bullets. Also 82 vs 67.9 grains case capacity and 62+ vs 58+ kpsi max pressure which pushes those heavier bullets faster. That all assumes that you handload. They 7RM only has a 3.34" SAAMI OAL while the 280 has a 3.5" OAL. But the Rem 700 allows loading to 3.6" OAL. [/QUOTE]
