Rebarrel.  Relatively easy.  The 470 Capstick is a .375 H&H blown out to accept .475" bullets.  So it only differs from the 458 Lott by a small amount.  Most 458 Win Mag rifles are based on the long magnum action so a rebarrel would work with it also.  Reboreing is possible but can often present problems, so it is usually advisable to rebarrel.
