[QUOTE="Milepost, post: 1706403, member: 104022"] Agree, but the difference is that the popular american magnum Rem and Win action/mag wells of years ago were modified to fit the longer HH Magnum cartridges. Europeans have had true medium actions forever (like Sako and Tikka). So essentially you have a long action with a standard med mag well. A good example is the 7mm Rem and 264 win mag. Longer, higher BC bullets are the problem nowadays so the manufacturers are designing shorter fatter magnum cartridges that can use the longer bullets. They then can use the the full length HH magwell to compensate for the longer bullets. So, as far as popular American actions you essentially only have a long and a short action that can use different bolt head sizes and they use short( short action ) or medium, and long magwell boxes. (long actions). [/QUOTE]
