[QUOTE="Lionel Boyd Johnson, post: 2094100, member: 110111"] I have two Pre 64, M 70s with match barrels chambered in .243 and .308. They have full length magazine boxes. Both have slots for loading with a stripper clip, and both feed perfectly. The only "penalty" for the long actions is a few ounces of weight. Immaterial given the target barrels and stocks. But...my .243 and .308 50-300 yard hunting rifles are set up for shorter bullets and run fine in short actions. In any custom build, you can pick the action for the purpose intended. -Ed [/QUOTE]
