[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1247545, member: 12995"] All Remington 700 long actions are the same length and all Remington 700 short actions are the same length. What they are referring to as one being "magnum" is the bolt face diameter for most magnum cartridges, which is .540"...Which would be what you require for your .300 WinMag. What is generally referred to as a "standard" (long or short) action means it has a .473" diameter bolt face (.22-250, .243, .260 Rem, .308 Win, .25-06, .270 Win, .30-06, etc...). Depending on your specs, you might just be cheaper to end up getting one of these...
