Couple questions...... What is the difference in short action and long action.... Will a different rifle stock fit for another rifle of the same namebrand.......Example, (stock like a 300 rifle stock fit a .270 and vise-versa?) |
| Slenk:
What Gun ? Savage maybe . No if the 300 has the magnum barrel . If they both have a sporter profile , they should fit (Savage's and Stevens are the same) Don't know about others. Slenk |
| high country:
no. if slenk says a savage is in the same stock....prehaps they are the exception. I only have a long action savage and the inletting does not look like the floor plate relief would work. |
| Slenk:
That's why I said maybe .I'm talking Savage rifles here ! It depends on the model #, barrel and magazine , some fit some do not . Savage with accu-trigger can be made to fit old style stocks with a little work . Newer CF magazine models will not fit the older stagger feed stock , some have made them work with inletting . Short action will not fit long action stocks . Long action will not fit short action stocks . They also made a intermediate action that is called a J series . The newer Savage Magnums have a step in the barrel just in front of the barrel nut the actions are the same size as the .270/30-06 . Unless you are talking about the WSM calibers . If you rifle has a 3 digit #110 to116 long action , 2 digit #10 to 16 short action . The J series rifles were also 3 digit numbers . Every body totally confused as I am now ? Slenk center-to-center. All Long Actions = 5.062" (1958 to present) 1st. Gen Actions - 4.522" (1959 to 1987) 2nd Gen Short -4.275" (1998 to 2006) 3rd Gen Short Actions = 4.400"-2006 and up First Generation Short Actions: "Series J" actions. 0.540" shorter than the standard long action |
| high country:
after rereading your example guns I have to change my answer to yes. the 270win and 300win are the same action length,different bolt face, but same action length. if you are refering to 270wsm and 300win the answer is still no. |
