I'm in the beginning stages of re-barreling a Pre-64 M70. Does anybody have any recomendations of a gunsmith to do the job, or a barrel company. This would be a purelly hunting gun so extreme accuracy is not required. Preferably I would like to put a tapered octogon stainless barrel on it in 35 Whelan.

There are alot of barrel makers out there who could do a good job.Let us know how much your willing to spend.I had mine done in Chrome-moly with an action job for $320 but for around $500 you could get a match barrel in Stainless
