[QUOTE="MajorSpittle, post: 1480178, member: 53101"] About how much would it cost to get a barrel and have it put on my action? From what I have seen a chambered barrel would be about $400 and I have no idea what a gunsmith would charge to put it on my rifle? It seems like it would be pretty expensive by the time it was done. I think for about $700 I could just buy a Steyr .270 win with a 23.5" 1:8.6" twist barrel. It wouldn't be the fastest to launch the 170 EOL but would probably get me to 800 yards hunting and close to a mile for targets. Recoil and weight would be about right. So I think getting the 270 rebarreled would need to be less than $700. If I do rebarrel the 270 it will be for a 27" 1:8.5" 280AI that will end up a little on the heavy side but will be able to stretch 1000 yrds hunting and over a mile @ targets with 180 or 195 rounds. I seriously doubt I would ever be in a situation to take a shot over 700 yrds, but the option is nice. 600ish is the farthest I have killed anything and that was trophy mule in the Montana Bear Paws, most long shots with my 7mm RM back in the day were under 450 yards but I zero'd at 300 shooting about .7 MOA. I used to say I got a lot of Par 4s but only one Par 5. With technology today I think 800 is pretty reasonable if conditions are right and it would be fun to take that shot and get off the golf course distances. [/QUOTE]
