[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1613311, member: 93846"] Unless you already have a 1 in 8" twist in your 270 barrel, you're going to need a new barrel anyway to accomplish what FEENIX has done with his rifle. The standard factory 1 in 10" twist of the 270 Win and other .277" diameter offerings, has always been the biggest drawback in that caliber to me. With a 1 in 8" twist, the 270 Win really unleashes its potential! But, if you're going to have to rebarrel anyway, sticking with the original idea of a 280 AI with a 1 in 8" twist makes sense, unless you are willing to alter the bolt face as well... in which case the 7 mags come into play.
