[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 796184, member: 5302"] From what I know, the .358 STA's round length is a bit longer than 3.35 inches; the limit for standard length Model 70 receivers and magazines. The receiver's magazine cutout would have to be milled out at the back end for a longer magazine to fit. That's how the Win. 70 H&H magnum rifle receivers were made; I used to have one. Find out what the actual over all length of the STA version ammo goes to. Instead, you might want to think about a .358 Norma Magnum round which could easily be used with a standard length Win. 70 action and magazine length. It's close enough to the STA version of a 35 caliber belted case and game won't be able to tell the difference. [/QUOTE]
