Did Ted rebarrel the rifle for you?I have a 710 with a Galliard barrel in 225 win 27"and 3/4"dia at the muzzel.The screw hole distance is completely different.The effort required to make a model 70 fit wouldn't be worth it IMHO.I am just going to inlet an A5 style stock for it in laminate with bench rest hardware just for something different.
I think barrel shank dimensions are very similar. The Cooey is an economy rifle, but there is no reason one would not be a good shooter, and would not benefit from an upgraded barrel. I do not know if you would ever recover the cost of rebarrelling, though.

Was the Cooey 71 not marked for a time by Winchester as the Model 670?
