Thread: Firearm upgrade options?

The sensible option is to tidy up the 270, stock and over barrel silencer, cut back to 20" and that should still work to 5-600 mtr with premium low drag bullets.
The fun options
I have in my head a cut off of range of 300 mtr for a bush rifle. Just so you can shoot that slip face across the gully or if shooting bush margins in the tops.
So get something in the 308 or 30/06 family in 308, 338 or 358 caliber load with pistol bullets for short range bush shots and keep some full power Boat tail bullets to hand load in if a long shot is needed, you will have the time.
You could be more adventurous and go 375 or up to 44/45 cal but most of these calibers would limit you to 200 mtrs.

Then for the long range/tops south island rig a medium 7mm 24" barrel etc 284 win, 7mm rem mag. Could go 300 winmag but you may have to carry it a long way so the 7mm could be lighter while still heavy enough to shoot accuratley.
Well thats my 2 cents.
