Another question re-barrel Win 70

I would like to rebarrel a Winchester Classic Safari Express .375 H&H to .300 H&H. Basically because I have two of them and .300 H&H rifles are hard to find. Where I live near Tallahassee there isn't anyone who does that sort of thing. Looking for gunsmith recommendations, thanks.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Okay new development, I now have a .300 H&H barrel (thanks HT!), a McGowen with Model 70 contour. This is for a push feed Model 70. Can a gunsmith modify this barrel for a CRF Win 70? Thanks,

Sure; it's no problem cutting the cone and extractor cuts.
