Rebarrel Remington 700 BDL?

[RowdyYates]

I bought this rifle in the 70's and have used it to shoot a lot of animals. It's a .270 Win. and I believe is a 1:10 twist. It still shoots into an inch at 100 but I'm thinking about rebarreling to get a threaded barrel for a suppressor. I mainly use it for Pronghorn, deer, coyote, hog, and perhaps Black bear. Spot and Stalk is my main hunting method but I also do some stand hunting. I shoot a lot of 130 and 140 grain bullets (Nosler Ballistic Tips, Partitions, Accubonds, Sierra Game Kings, Hornady Interlocks, etc.)

What twist rate would you all recommend?
What barrel length?
What make?
How much?

Thanks,
Dave

Dave.
That's a Scary rabbit hole you're standing on the edge of!!
Price everything out ahead of time for sure. It's hard not to just keep adding options. It's always slightly surprising how much the grand total was in the end
My last bart barrel was $550 plus the blank to have it chambered, threaded, and shipped.

10 twist is all you need to shoot the bullets mentioned.
Length, everyone has their favorite, for me with a 270. min. 22" I like 26, but if you are thinking a can, 20 - 22".
Barrel. I would thread the one that's on your rifle and if you don't like the length with a can you will know what length you want.
Barrel manufacturer- flip a coin. I'm not a fan of carbon fiber. A lot of money just for Looks. Hope this helps.

The .270 Win at 65K pressure has a governor on it. The 700LA will give you 3.67" maximum magazine COAL capacity and would be shame not to take advantage of it. Going to slightly faster twist (1:8) will not affect shooting the bullets you mentioned but does increase bullet flexibility and opens the door to shoot longer heavier monos. It also opens up for bullets like 170EOL, 165ABLR, 156HH. 117H etc. You can add freebore that let you shoot all bullets better by allowing seating the bullet out further gaining case capacity = more potential velocity. Going this route actually improves its performance for shorter barrel options. I would think 22" would give you decent velocity with a can which is why I would maximize the magazine COAL capacity to squeeze the juice out of the .270 Win. The 117HH would still be rocket out of 22" barrel. I am shooting it 3470 out of 24" barrel in old Savage 110 I rebarreled.

Swapping barrel out is great time to step back and maximize the cartridge's performance.

My BDL in .270 shot lights out groups even after over 40 years of shooting it. But when a "smith" looked inside with a bore scope, he said the first 6 inches if the bore was severely heat cracked. Before you do anything, be certain the existing barrel is truly OK.
Personally, why change what works? I'd stay with the same twist and length.
