Ken,
Was looking at a MK V Outfitter in 270 Wby yesterday. I like the looks of it but I need to do some research before I commit. I had a MkV UL in 270 Weatherby about 10 years ago. Killed a couple of mule deer with it but would like to pop an elk with one![/quote]

If you build or re-barrel I would go with a 1 in 8 twist to use the newer VLDs. The 170+ bullets put the 270s in a whole new league for longer ranges. With the 110-130s it is ideal for the Sendero hunting too. Good compromise between a 257 and a 300. A little more bullet weight, doesn't give up much in trajectory and a lot easier to shoot than the 300.
