[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2936979, member: 5219"] Yes similar. You can use Remington takeoff barrels on a model 70 action with some simple machining. Remove the bolt recess, cut down the barrel diameter to 1", thread and chamber. I have done that to quite a few push feed model 70s and Ruger M77s. All that is necessary is that the reamer cleans up the remains of the existing chamber. Examples: takeoff in 300 win mag was rechambered with a 300 Rum. 7-08 was rechambered with a 284 Win. 243 rechambered with a 6mm-284. Recently I acquired a new Tikka SS barrel in 25-06. The threaded shank is longer than the model 70's. but same thread size, 1" x 16 TPI. The shank was shortened and it was a perfect fit with the model 70 action. I then used a 257 weatherby reamer to clean up the remaining chamber. [/QUOTE]
