i have a spare weatherby vg in 270 wsm as a backup lr gun. i have always wanted to rebuild the thing for long range shooting, nothing to over the top, but maybe a new drop in stock and a 28 inch poly/canted/offset rifled barrel. since i got some money coming my way i want to know what everyone would do to it. i want to either keep it in 270 wsm or 7mm wsm, i still want it as a backup and most of all i dont want to spend more then $750 cad (about 600 usd) on upgrades. i already have a long range gun but the thing has been acting up lately and i want a backup gun that wont hider me in anyway

What cal is your other rifle?

Talk to Ridge Runner .He can put you in the right direction.

the other rifle is in 6.5 wsm, i kinda jumped on that build and it didnt turn out 100% (only a 26 inch barrel). the stock has been giving me some problems to, some time ago i overloaded a casing, broke a extractor and put a crack on the upper support of the thumbhole grip. the stock has been "reminding me" of what i did every time i take it to the range.

Ohhh, I think I would stick with the 6.5 WSM, then you can use the same bullets and maybe the same powder and load...
