AllenBoselyHey Bwananich, I know they can vary quite a bit, but if it helps I had my Pac-nor barrel at 24" .275 dia. I measured a cuple of wimchester
Safri Express they ran from .290 to .320 hope that helps. allen PS Dakota I belive is .650 usually.
It's a Mauser thing, you wouldn't understand.

Thanks Allen,
I have a Safari Express and I am trying to get a NECG rear sight through their online store and they ask to specify the barrel diameter. I don't have my rifle with so can't measure. The barrel diameter options for the sight I want on their site start at .600/.675 and upwards.

Oh man, they come with all sorts of muzzle diameters. Typical barrel contours put on .375 H&H are #4 or #5, but some factory barrels are considerably heavier than that - Steyr springs to mind. If you are ordering a front sight for an existing barrel, though, and the diameter has to be specified within a pretty limited interval, I think it would be rather "brave" of you if you ordered based on what other peoples' barrels measure.

vapodogdo this
1 decide where on the barrel you want to mount the rear sight.....and mark it with a piece of electrical tape.
2 find a caliper...digital, vernier. or dial and measure the barrel diameter there.
3 give that number to NECG.

fredj338You are just going to have to neasure it. Maybe, MAYBE, someone elses M70 will have a bbl. close enough that they can provide your measurement. It will be over .700", I'll bet on that.

AllenBoselyYeah, Bwanamich you really should mesure your barrel on two of the Safari Express one was .690 and one was .317 both were current made guns both at Sportsman warehouse about a month ago. allen
