    The other things you are doing will make this a much more usable rifle that will last you for years.

    I concur
    I hate 270 with a passion and would never own one
    However I had a mate who was silly enough to buy one against my advice
    And chop it to 18” again against my advice I said 20” absolute minimum (looking at the numbers)
    We spent alot of time trying to get that thing going properly
    And mannaged to turn in into a killer 0-300m bush gun but the original assignment was a 0-700 do all rig shooting the 145 eldx with a vx5 on top it was just never good enough for that
