The 500 Jefferys, being shorter than the 505 Gibbs could possibly be converted at a very high cost in a Mod. 70 but I would not even consider such a conversion...some of the cost might be a new magazine box, extensive rail work, perhaps a custom made bolt, opening up lenthwise and on and on..the bottom line is ANYTHING can be done if money is no objection...
I would simply use a CZ, Enfield, or one of the new, but very expensive Mauser Mod. 20 type actions being made by several companies....add the M-70 features that you like to the gun.
