[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 1966453, member: 100742"] I would start by considering a high quality Barrel in the same contour; Chambered in .270 Win. Have the barrel and receiver and the bolt face all faced off, or (Blueprinted,) and then re assembled. Consider a Rem. 40X trigger, or a Rifle Basics Trigger. Pilar Bed the stock, and you have a new, semi custom rifle. Big Question. "What will it be used for??? " Discuss the Barrel length 22; 24 ;26 inch and the twist rate of the barrel with your gunsmith. Will this be a White tail deer rifle, or will it be used for bigger game like Elk, Moose or Brown Bear????? Will the 130 and 140 grn. bullets be mainly what you will use or will the 150 Grn and 170 Grn bullets be needed. Will this be your one and only rifle?? Think it through !!! This is a great opportunity to make it your perfect rifle. I have back up synthetic stocks for a few of my rifles. If the hunt is going to be wet and nasty, the the wood stock comes off, and the synthetic stock goes on. Then off to range for sighting in. Good luck to you!!! [/QUOTE]
