[QUOTE="BlackAndChrome, post: 444857, member: 26105"] Is it possible to "three point turn" an '06 cartridge into a savage short action? If it's single shot magazine is irrelevant if the mag holds the rounds and I had read somewhere that savage did not have a true short action anyway, in that it was slightly longer than standard short action anyway. If .308 is 2.8" OAL and 25-06 is 3.25" OAL with 2.5" case length (assuming there is some room for play in .308) it should have no problem edging in and ejecting as an empty case. Is there merit in this thought or am I talking stupid? Savage edge/axis actions are apparently junk so that leaves a used donor weather warrior or varmint rifle if the target action wont work. -Nick [/QUOTE]
