Okay so I have a model 70 currently chambered for .270 and I am seriously starting to think about converting it over to .300 wm and turning it into a long range precision rifle. What would be the expected cost of having it converted and putting a match grade barrel on, and then getting the accurizing of the rifle done?

Also what would it cost to have a barrel put on my model 70 and keeping it chambered for .270 and getting it souped up with bedding and lapping the bolt face, and other accurizing processes to turn it into a long range shooter? I know I am going to need to dump around 1000 for just optics but what about the rifle?

Also would the .270 be a feasible long range elk cartridge with the right bullets loaded up? And by long range I mean 800 yards and under. Now I know many say sniping an elk from 800 is not sporting but if I am paying for the tag and the opportunity to smack one at 800 is the only way not to eat tag soup then I am going to smack it.

And I fully understand the concept of PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, so no preaching about the practice part. I fully intend to practice.

Now this will not be something that will happen over night, but I am figuring on getting the work done in 2 to 3 years.

Sorry for the long read guys and thanks in advance for any help.
