Well, sounds like your running out of options--you could sell it to std7mag who is itching to put a couple new builds together.

A pencil thin barrelled, synthetic stocked, .270 is a hunting rifle. The light weight was very popular in the 90's for Elk and other beasts living in high places. First shot accuracy is what's important.
That 2.5 MOA, providing it's consistent with a cold barrel, is plenty accurate for deer sized game. The inconsistency when hot is kind of typical of those thin barrels too. Floating a barrel guarantees nothing. Some rifles like it, some just do not. I'd put a pressure point in. Dab of bedding material about 1 or 2 inches from the end on the fore stock. And try it.
