OK - I'm obviously no where near the level of you guys so in simple terms, if I had a 270 win - rebarrel, and then what? I read about the chamber depth, etc on here - I'd like to have some understanding so I don't get taken advantage of by a gunsmith. BTW, not a youngster by any stretch, just been a hunter and shooter, never a true loonie. Although I have bought and sold/traded more rifles than I care to think about. Always wanting to try something else until I've reached the point where I know the calibers I like to shoot now. Been having a heck of a time trying to find a 2nd 6.5x55 (at least at a reasonable price) and decided to go a different route. Been trying to trade into a rem 700 classic but can't get a response from the seller and everone on GB is overpriced - guess that supply and demand kicks in strong sometimes.
