[QUOTE="Chris F, post: 25987, member: 1181"] Unless things have changed recently, all 40X's are based on Short Actions. The Magnums are Single Shots and since there's no magazine to fit in, they're all built on Short Actions (shorter = less flex in theory). It's easy to single load even a 300 Win through the SA port. While it's possible the rifle you're considering started out with a .473 boltface and was opened up to a Magnum Face, it's probably more likely that it came from the factory like that. Repeaters will be clip slotted (for 308 and more recently 223) but are still...yep you guess it...Short Action. [/QUOTE]
