[QUOTE="djm670, post: 1706833, member: 36341"] Jud is correct. Goggle it: The main difference between a short action and long action firearm is the length of the receiver. A short action firearm will be offered in calibers with shorter cartridges (i.e. 223 REM, 243 WIN, 308 WIN, etc.). A long action firearm will be offered in "longer" calibers (i.e. 25-06 REM, 270 WIN, 30-06 SPFLD, etc.). The .30-06 has always been a long action. I can't believe we are having this discussion.
