[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1597807, member: 69192"] Usually when I read a thread such as this one, I always start with the basics, [I]"What are you planning to use this rifle for hunting (game), do you reload?" [/I]And......[I]"to make it reach out there a little more?" [/I]What distance/s are you asking this rifle to shoot [I][U]"a little more"[/U][/I], what does that mean (how far)? Is your son's buddy recoil sensitive, is he an experienced shooter? How much money do you want to spend? It doesn't matter what caliber you decide on, if I were rebarreling to any caliber, I would spend the extra money to [U]have the action blueprinted/trued[/U] to go along with the rebarrel. I would try deciding on a cartridge that does not require changing the bold face or modifying the rails for feeding. And although you will get a number of suggestions with a question such as this one, because there's lots of debate on long range cartridges, the .270 Winchester is not a bad cartridge overall, depending on your long range needs.
