    Dont know of any reason why you couldn't re barrel it. Plenty to choose from, just do a bit of research and see what's available. I rebarrelled my own .270 a few years back with a Trueflight, but there's heaps of others. Then there's the carbon-wrapped option as well.
    Most .270's are 1:10 twist which will handle the 130 and 140 Gr just fine, but if you're thinking 150gr and above then you'd want to look at 1:8.5 or 1:9
    Give Phil Webster Gunsmithing a call and have a yarn to him, I know he's done a few (0274408832)

    The rifles early on used 98 mauser actions so standard 98 barrels fit. Later rifles had a smaller thread but are still very easy to rebarrel. Suggest you contact Mike Collings at collingsguns
