What is the difference in putting a barrel on a M70 than a 700 Rem. ?
 
There are several different styles of model 70's, some with coned bolts & some with flat bolts. Some will require an extractor cut in the barrel. Which do you have?

It was the one with controlled round feed I had in mind . The one with a coned bolt face and the one with the extractor slot how do you cut them? Thanks Max
 
Bought a little jeweller's saw (piercing saw) years ago that came with steel cutting blades. They were great for cutting extractor slots & sight dovetails. When the blades were all used up, I never could find any replacements.

It's probably also worth mentioning that many if not all of the WSM versions of the new action have a different thread diameter and pitch than the basic 1" X 16 TPI. I don't remember for sure what, maybe 1 1/16" X 32 or something similar.

The newest Model 70's are 1.062x28tpi this change took place when the short mags came out and is still in use on the new F/N manufactured Model 70. (At least all I have tore down are 1.062x28tpi.)
