BRNO ZKK602 barrel re-cut threads for M98?

I own a CZ/BRNO ZKK602 .458 Win Mag but want to use the action to build a .338 Lapua Magnum. I was thinking of using the BRNO .458 barrel to build another rifle based on a standard Mauser 98 action. Would it be possible and feasible to recut the BRNO's barrel threads to fit the M98 action?

Thanks Jeffe. I was also wondering if the threads of the old BRNO barrel would match those of the new CZ 550 action. Thinking along the lines of fitting the barrel to a CZ 550 medium action (better suited to the short .458 Win Mag anyway). Opinions?
