Help choosing stock for long range rifle based off old savage 110.

Oh, I had a question. Why are you going to 308? Your .270 will out range a .308 by quite some distance. And if your going to re-barrel, and want one of the short cartridges, for distance, get into the 6mm, or 6.5mm's.

I figured, all in good fun. You are right about the 7mm08 but the 280 has a bigger boiler room.

Please help me understand this. I shot my S 10FCP in .308 yesterday at 1350 yards (8 shots to hit working windage 36" rect. plate). I also hit a 12" plate dead center at 1200 yards on 2nd shot several times. Once I dialed this in, I feel I could do it repeatedly given the same conditions. So how does a .270 "out range" a .308?

WOW! With that type of shooting, I'm sure your a very well known competitor in the country. I would love to see some of your awards. Most impressive indeed, since NO OTHER COMPETITION SHOOTER IN THE COUNTRY USES A 30 CAL.
