Any good gunsmith can get all that done for you, no problem. Just remember, you cut off barrel length, you lose about 1-200 fps per inch.
yeah i know that im just wanting to make a nice lightweight brush gun.
tikka use to make a t3 they called the "big bore" came with a 18" or 20" barrel and in 308, 30-06, 300wsm. but i cant find it anywhere now and i really wanted one last year. and now after finally owning a tikka it makes me want it even more.
loosing a half poulnd off of my tikka right now with a shorter barrel would make my dream brush gun. but its a 270 so that caliber wont work for me.
