    How would one go about converting a 260 to a 6.5 saum? Is it possible and if so what is cost? Brass not too hard to get and is it a barrel burner?
    Cheers

    What rifle? Barrel would have to be set back and rechambered, bolt face opened up and mag modified to feed (Saums and wsms can be particularly difficult to get to feed properly)
    Yes it will burn the barrel a lot quicker than a 260
    Kiwi Greg and chainsaw like this.
    270 is a harmonic divisor number[1]
    270 is the fourth number that is divisible by its average integer divisor[2]
    270 is a practical number, by the second definition
    The sum of the coprime counts for the first 29 integers is 270
    270 is a sparsely totient number, the largest integer with 72 as its totient
    Given 6 elements, there are 270 square permutations[3]
    10! has 270 divisors
    270 is the smallest positive integer that has divisors ending by digits 1, 2, …, 9.

    If you rebarrel it it will work easily enough, can't/won't rechamber Tikka barrels

    If you are going to fall in love with a rifle or a stock, that is call a date, not a meeting ;-)

    That is nice. I was thinking about purchasing something like that. What would the build cost be roughly from scratch?

    Its a Bartlein 1-8 Rem Mag profile finished at 24"

    The action had been severely blueprinted/played with before I got it

    Unfortunately as is usually the way it wasn't done properly & is lacking enough primary extraction for it to show its full potential velocity wise.....plonkers playing with things...

    Another reason to invest in a Defiance action

    The steel is "funny", it picks up even with a new reamer, creating rings etc in the chamber & its hard on the reamer.

    It is bad enough cutting a thread on it, very few will re-chamber them, the failure rate is too high.

    For some reason we haven't had that trouble rechambering 223 to 22 Terminator, yet, maybe we have been lucky...
