[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 302104, member: 1522"] George at GAP does excellent work and normally has Bartlein barrels in stock which gives him a quick turn-around. However before jumping in and getting your work done quickly, consider this. For all intents and purposes you're building a custom gun minus the stock. Bartlein can build you any profile and barrel configuration you want. This ranges from SS or chrome-moly, barrel contour, length, bore diameter, custom rifling and any twist rate you can imagine. When I ordered my Barlein barrel for my LH .300 WSM Winchester featherweight, I chose the featherweight contour, 22” length, .298 barrel diameter, 5R rifling in an 11.27” twist. I had to wait 5 months for the barrel, but it was what I wanted and how I wanted it. There is no doubt your Bartlein barrel will shoot as they are top of the line and GAP will build it right. Do some research on the optimal barrel setup for a .270 and the grain bullet you’re going to shoot and have George order and install that barrel. Call Bartlein or call and talk specifically with George or any other top g-smiths in the country and ask them what’s the optimal barrel set up for a .270, not just what they have in stock. If you’re going through the process of specking our your gun, take the time and do it right the first time. Go to Bartlein’s website, what they’re capable of building is mind boggling. Hope it helps, Jeff [/QUOTE]
