Pryral, when you compare a Ruger 1B to Remington 700 BDL (both .270s)you'll find the Remington is a 1/4-inch longer and 5/8s of a pound lighter than the Ruger 1B. The Ruger 1B has a 26-inch barrel compared to a Rem 700's 22-inch barrel due to the bolt action of the Rem 700 takes up so much space.

If you need a short pull rifle in single shot try the H&R Handi Rifle (barrels made by Ruger, firearm assembled by New England Firearms @$200). The Handi Rifle is 7lbs, 38-inches overall w/22-inch barrel w/13.5-inch pull.

Cutting up a Ruger 1B is an awful thing to contemplate.
