    Running SA cartridge in a LA

    With the 270 Savage I'm buying I have some options to consider.

    My current rifle is a SA, bedded into laminate stock (hinged floor plate), with 2 barrels. Both 7-08, a Shillen 22 inch match barrel with T2 that I use for gongs, and the factory barrel cut down to 14 inch with DPT modular can for hunting.

    The 270 plastic stock (blind mag) should be lighter than the laminate, and I would not mind it getting scratched etc in normal hunting abuse. So what issues would I be looking at if I screw the 708 barrel into the long action ? Similar case base size for 708 and 270, so magazine lips should be fine, and I'm head spacing the barrel with GO/NOGO gauges, so no issues in terms of the bolt...
