re: Thoughts during Finals Study Break- Building a Sniper Rifle

Looks like you've got a lot of great answers. I am a huge 270 win fan and it is very capable round. If you're set on rebuilding you would be best served to look at something in the 6.5 category. 260 Remington and 6.5 creedmor are both big right now. They are based on the 308 case, but can be built on a long action. Some people choose long actions to allow a longer OAL of your cartridge which is handy with the VLD bullets (Very Low Drag, they're looooong). Then again, the 6.5-06 is an option. If you wanted to build a magnum you would have to open up your bolt face.
