I have a Rem 700 SPS 270 Win 24" barrel any reason why it couldn't be turned into a 270 Weatherby, it is a bit slim. Could be an easy way to try out a 270 Wby which Ive always liked. Don't really want a 270 Win even though it is a great round since I also have a 260 Rem.

No reason. Bolt face change and a rechamber.

I should have been a bit more clear, it would be going on a magnum action just wondering if the standard contour would be a bit light. Just thinking through a few things I could also find a 7 mm RM take off and use that or maybe a 300 H&H out of a 30-06 take off. They are all good rounds that I have some interest in.

I think the standard Sporter contour at 24" would be perfect for the .270 Wby.

I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.

Thanks, I already own this barrel so it would be easy to just have it rechambered and installed on my magnum Rem 700.

Have dies now and am going ahead with a 270 Wby, any reasons to avoid the SPS standard 270 Win barrel? A 24" barrel is fine with me, have this sitting around from my 35 Whelen project. I necked up some 264 Wm brass and my Rem 700 feeds it well, the 264 WM has done well but it is time for a change and has always had a thing for the 270 Wby.

I say GO FOR IT. Course I am pretty high on that round and have several....
