Sometimes, it’s not really about the new guns. Is anyone out there doing rebuilds, swapping parts, or going for full tear-downs this year?
 
I have a .270 Win build going on right now, dropped the barrel off at the GS before Christmas. It's an old Winchester 670 getting a makeover. It'll be able to handle a longer cartridge OAL, and a 1:7 twist that'll support 175 grain bullets. I'm mating it to an old Winchester Winlite stock and adding PT&G one piece bottom metal to it.

I also have a Howa Superlite .308 that needs some tweaking. It'll probably get bottom metal from Wayne York, and a pillar bedding job. I'd like to find a way to get a wider recoil pad on the rifle, as the narrow one really focuses the snappy recoil from this light weight rifle.

I might get a 6 GT barrel for my Savage 6 Creedmoor. While it shoots okay as a Creedmoor, I like my faux Howa Alpine in 6 Creedmoor better as it is lighter and more consistent in POA/POI.
