Pre-64 M70 Rebuild Ideas

What about 9.3x62? Great classic and flexible African caliber. Whatever you decide it sounds like it will end up being a nice rifle. I have a transitional 70 in 30/06 that is out at Pre64win getting upgraded, cant wait to get it back.
 
Re-barrel to .416 Remington. Don't hold back, Go with a real outright working rifle and order a Boyd's Classic Laminated stock in their Forrest Camo colour. Include NECG peep sight, a slightly oversized polished brass front bead. Lastly install a pair of Uncle Mike quick release sling swivels to the Stock.

Add -
Limbsaver recoil pad
Black forend and grip cap
Skipline checkering
2 crossbolts
Second and forward fitted recoil lug on the underside of the barrel
 
Any cartridge with the word “Remington” attached to it would be complete heresy in that fine Winchester rifle[emoji1]. H&H…now that has a ring to it…I like the .400 variant. Modern yet classic.
416RM

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
