[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 28914, member: 25"] You cannot go directly to a Weatherby since your bolt face is setup for a smaller diameter case head. You would need another bolt with the magnum size bolt face if you go to a magnum, some smiths can open up your boltface but that is a lot of work and costs money. Also you will find that guys here are very partial to McMillan stocks, there is a reason for that. The Choats work well, should be skim-bedded for best performance, but some shoot very well as drop-ins. Building a long range rifle takes a lot of planning, guys on this site can help you, just keep askin' questions. Suggest you look in the archives in the basics, might answer a lot of questions and good reading. .270 is a bit of a dud as far as really good bullet selection, way more bullet weights and makers if you go to .30. Common suggestion is to start with a .308 Win and shoot lots and cheap, then go up to a bigger cartridge if you feel the need. Have fun, getting into LR hunting involves many things, not just building a rifle. Many guys shoot standard factory rifles with great success, secret is to pull the trigger, keep good data and learn what the wind does to your bullets. [/QUOTE]
