I have an old Remington 700 in .270 cal that I purchased in the late 60's. I never liked shooting it and so it has just collected dust most those years.
I have always wanted a 6.5x55 so I was wondering about re-barreling this rifle. Would I need a new bolt, or can this one be made into a correct fit for the original 6.5 brass? What I'd love to have is a barrel sized like on the Remington police rifles, maybe 26" or less but not a shorty. Also would want a target quality aperture sights front and rear. I am looking to have a nice 600 yard informal target rifle.
Should I just be looking for a different rifle or would converting this one be better?
