G'Day Fella's

Threadfin, the Mauser M66 concept, was way ahead of its time and I believe is the basis for the current batch of Blaser R93 / R8 "Would Be's", like the Chapuis and the Merkel!
I won't go as far as to say the Blaser R's are a descendant of the Mauser 66 but it wouldn't surprise me if Mr Blaser, once owned a Mauser M66!!!

As to the barrels that you mention, for this rifle.
They are different enough in bore diameter, that they can be used on quite a varied variety of game. So who ever chose them originally, had some knowledge and plans it would appear!

Hope the history lesson etc, has been of some assistance.
