[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1749854, member: 94491"] OK, got the info and can post pics tomorrow if needed action screws are 5.062" apart= long action/ LA stock staggered mag box measured from the inside is 2.904" so that would be a short action relief cut on the receiver and short action blind mag box nut length is .875" or std shank/ small nut also found out that all 1988-1997 actions were long actions but cut for different length boxes SOOOOO-- this would mean that I could build a wsm on it, but it is not ideal as I couldn't seat bullets long 2.860" is saami, but really couldn't seat bullets out much further (maybe 3 thou)-- is it feasible/possible to have the action cut for a new long action mag box/follower/spring by a smith? anyone had this done? if so, any idea on the cost? may be better to just keep it in the true short action length family :( and use a different action to build my wsm -- my win model 70 short action allows about 3.02" thanks for all the help and info, I learn more here every day if you have any more guidance or info please send it my way as I'm always eager to learn [/QUOTE]
