I have an older push feed Winchester Model 70 Super Express in 375 H&H. The gun was availible in 375, 416 rigby, and 458.
Question 1: Is it plausible to build a switch barrel between the 375 and a 338 lapua? Like interrupted threads or would the recoil be too much for a system like that. Also couldn't I just unscrew the barrel, buy a new bolt(with the correct head diameter, some headspace guages and screw my own barrel on?(the lapua is based on the rigby basic brass and is just a pinch shorter than the 375)
Question 2: Is it a DIY proposition? I have access to a impressive machine shop where I could do anything I needed.
