[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2575838, member: 115819"] Ah Ok. Nice gun but aftermarket proof as far as I know. I'm really big on prefits but that's not going to happen. I know this isn't your thing but the single best thing you could do to to hotrod any 270 is learn to reload. In general it's loaded mild, unlike the new Hornady cartridges. There are probably some exceptions. Starting reloading is not as bad as it seems from the outside, you just need some time and to like a little tinkering. I was in your shoes a few years ago. Just a thought. Most people can see real gains in reach in a 270, and load tuning is a hard thing to be without once you've tried it. You don't need nearly as much stuff as you see on the reloading shelves. Right now primers will be the only pain to get. That aside, yeah new glass will you give you a big breath of fresh air. If you're not familiar look up alaskan ballistics on youtube. He does a lot of factory ammo tests with 270. I'm not big on reading tissue damage by popping milk jugs but he finds a lot of surprises with SD and MV across a wide variety. Tehre may be other guys doing the same thing with a chrony. I think I remember Barnes being one that occasionally gets match consistency (he doesn't test accuracy but different guns like different things) and hotter loads, there are a few others too. If you get one of those that your gun likes you just extended your reach by 50 percent. [/QUOTE]
