[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 908711, member: 69478"] Instead of buying a whole new rifle, why don't you just have your .270 rebarreled if you don't want to use it. And if I were rebarreling it I wouldn't spend all of that money for a 7mm-08 or .280, that's for sure. I'm still leaning towards the '06 for barrel life, availability, and its all around versatility. If you go this route, make it worth your while and put a 26" or 27" barrel on that '06 and watch the velocity it makes! The longer barrel will be capable of handling big .30 slugs like 190s-210s so you could shoot the same bullet as your .300 Winchester. Should be able to push those heavy 190s around 2800 fps, maybe even faster. This would really extend your range, probably out to 700yds. [/QUOTE]
