Default 300wsm rechambering

I am looking for some knowledge into rechambering a tikka 300wsm. Not sure what caliber I could do but I guess $$$ would be part of the equation. I mean I could sell the gun and buy another caliber, but if it was cheap enough to have a new tube installed for say a 270wsm or something then I would go that route.

Any advice or thoughts ?? Thanks in advance.

It would be cheaper to sell your rifle and purchase one in a cartridge that you prefer.

So why not just get the same make and model in a different chambering?

The 300wsm has a .540" bolt face and a short action so it really limits rechambering unless you stick with a wsm.

I rebarelled my Sako A7 to 6.5 WSM (6.5 leopard) I like it much better than the 300 and shoots way better. I got a benchmark barrel fromBighorn sales.

If you just want to go to a 270WSM a barrel is under $500 and installation is under $200.
If you really like that rifle I would go that route.
