Q? Long way around the barn,are you trying to build a special rifle for your son?

Not necessarily wanting to build a complete custom rifle, more so a "semi-custom" like my Browning A-Bolt .270 Win. A good rifle to begin with but rebarreled. In the case of a Wildcat Cartridge, rechambered, as well. Maybe a Browning A-Bolt or X-Bolt, maybe an all stainless Savage, or something similar. I'm extremely pleased with my rifle, more so since it received the Douglas Air Gauge #4, I'd just need something much lighter for my little man. And I'd like to stay with the .270 cal so I can use the same bullets. I think "using the same bullets as Dad", using a rifle very similar to Dad's, would have a certain value to a youngster, You know?
I will
definitely look into the .270/308 Improved. That's pretty much what I'm aiming for, but I didn't want to "step on anyone's toes" by utilizing a 40 degree shoulder in drawing up the Wildcat. If I can find something, such as what You've mentioned, I'd definitely rather go that way as long as I could get the brass to work right...
As far as the Case Neck Length, and wanting to keep it fairly long... I like the length of the neck on .270 Win. because it offers alot of grip, and I feel (just my opinion) that extra neck length can help keep the bullet aligned, as long as everything else is straight. In the same sense, I don't like how short the neck is on the 25-06 Rem. It IS enough, I just think it should've been kept a little longer...
But special.....for my son.....definitely.
