    Should be as easy as finding a 308 tikka t3 barrel and headspaceing it
    Hardly a downside with the long action and could be easily set back and rechambered to 30-06 or 30-06ai later down the track
    I screwed a t3 308 into my sako 75 action for a low cost rebarrel

    Keep the 270 and just buy a 308. It's only money right?
    2 guns are better than 1 gun

    Why turn a longer action Sako into a shorter one?
    If I ever rebarreled my Sako 270 into a different calibre, it would be to 6.5x55 Swe.

    Mate spent alot of time sorting subs for his 308 and basically reckons they run out of puff way too early and don't kill that well. He did alot of contract stuff in areas people were not use to gunshots so really had to keep them quiet. He said if he had to do it again he would buy a 450 bushmaster, can keep you beautiful sako as is and get a cheap ruger and a basic scope for reasonable money.

    Edit: also had a 300blk and was not that impressed either

    Keep the 270 barrel for when you want to put it back on again.
