[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2647564, member: 100742"] I would take a second to check the dimensions of the 6.8 Western, vs the 270 Win. See if the bolt face and extractor need to me modified ,or not. Determine if it is a big deal for a gunsmith to handle. Also the opening for the mag well. I think like the 280 AI, as well as the 6,8 Western shooting a 170 Grn .Bullet , may be worth a look. Since you're building it, you can decide if a 24 inch or 26 inch barrel, with an 8 twist would be best. I think either caliber will offer you the velocity and energy you need for elk, but I'm just not sure of the energy numbers at 600 yards. Ill bet there are guys here that can tell you those numbers.
