Action Length
« on: January 01, 2008, 08:36:49 AM »
I an interested in either a Howa or Vanguard in 270WSM.  If I get one will the action be the same length as a 30-06, or do they come in different sizes short/long?

The WSM is a short action cartridge which is shorter and bigger around than a 30-06.

Weatherby list the 270wsm rifle to be 1/2" shorter than the 270 Winchester rifle with the same 24" barrel,
so it would seem they do make short and long actions.
