The pre-'64 actions are usually found on well used (i.e. beater) rifles. I've seen a couple of .270s come through my local shop lately in the $750 range.
Another option to put on your list is the H-S Precision. They make a nice one; it's push feed with the Model 70 style safety, their barrels are good too. They guarantee 1/2 MOA accuracy on all their rifles .30 and under. I don't know if they sell barreled actions, you would need to ask them.
If you go the way of the HS--you will spend some money as well..have 2 of their rifles as well..just talked to Donny in Sales..they have had a price increase in the last 6 months..guns that were suggested retail at $2495 is now around $2895 or there about..
As to the accuracy factor..personally, would still compare the ability to get a 700 to shoot well with a good barrel to any other similarily priced action available--including winchester..reason I say that is I have several and they shoot really well and are readily available..just by the design of the action itself lends itself to shoot well --either way, as I stated earlier..will be a fun project
