Winchester model 70 30-06 conversion assumptions and questions

Question.
What whisper cartridges can the sears model 53 chambered in the .30-06 (a post 1964 version of the Winchester model 70) be converted to?

Assumptions.
I assume because they only mention "bolt action", that would imply that it includes most all bolt action rifles of sufficient size including the Winchester model 70?

I also assume it would be the .338, .375, and .416 caliber rounds as that version uses the .308 case, and because the .30-06 is just a longer version of the .308, it should work as well if being re-barreled?

Either the SSK web site is lacking in specific enough answers, or my dumb butt is unable to find them.
