[QUOTE="WHITEBULL, post: 1149568, member: 90263"] So, I have decided to rebarrel, and stay with the .270wsm. This will be my 1st LR build, to have fun ringing steel out to 1,000 yrds and may be used for large game out to 600yrds. I will probably go with a PacNor 26" light varmint type of barrel, with a 1-8" or 1-9" twist rate. Would like to keep the rifle around 10-11lbs with optics. I will be using the large for caliber Matrix 165gr and 175 gr pills along with whatever new Bergers are available. I think there are enough .270 cal. bullets to do whatever anybody wants at this point. I know there are better calibers available, but I am doing this build because I already have the gun. My questions are, is the Model 70 short action strong enough for a slightly hot rodded build, and is there anything else I need to tell PacNor when ordering this barrel? Do I need to specify what bullets I will be using? My maximum length in the box is 3.040". does that leave me enough room for the heavy's? Thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
