I have no use for another 270 so the idea is to unscrew the barrel and put a new one on. What do you guys think? 22-250 8 twist or a wildcat of some sort?

That should put a crimp in about anything you’d shoot at. DF

You can block the box, get a SA follower and spring. Or tweak it. I have a .257R on a LA 700 that feeds as slick as any bolt gun I have. A master smith set it up. DF

IIRC it was about 65 yards away. Almost as bad on critters as the .460..! DF Edited to add, that looks like a LA Mauser. How does it feed the 6mm case? Last edited by Dirtfarmer; 05/13/19.
