About whatever that you might want? I have a Stiga brand 30-06 - was made on a Swede m94/m96/m38 length action. The original serial number and inspector initials on the action suggest it might have originally been an m94 carbine at one time. The magazine was lengthened. Metal behind the lower locking lug was milled out and a new loading ramp was cut - to allow the longer cartridge to feed. Then the thing was "proof tested" in Denmark (I think?) to establish that what was left was strong enough for commercial 30-06 rounds.
I understand it was a thing at one time to re-do a standard Mauser 98, to use 375 H&H rounds. I do not think that was for "faint of heart", but it can be done - and proof tested. "Proof testing" not commonly done in Canada or USA - but is law - in some cases for several centuries - in some countries in Europe.
Intersurplus, a banner advertiser has 9.3x62 barrels, new in the white, for $170 Canadian. Made by Zastava for sporter versions of the rifle you have.
The 9.3x62 option would be best for the intermediate action IMHO, because that's what it was designed for.
I've used these barrels for builds and they were basically just take off the old barrel and check headspace on the new one before spinning it on.
I've never had to rechamber one. That doesn't mean it can't happen though.
Intersurplus also has or had dies, cases available.
