How can you tell if its a short action or long on a Remington 700 308?

The long action simply has a longer receiver, to accommodate longer cartridges such as the .270 or .30-06. The .308 should be a short action. I have seen long action .308 rifles before, but these were typically .30-06 rifles rebarreled for the shorter .308 cartridge.

Is there a difference between a long and short action bolt savage 110?
1/2 of an inch. Long actions accomodate a larger cartridge calliber. Most savage rifles are long action. You can measure the distance between the front trigger guard screw (action screw) and the stock screw (forward action screw) to determine if your savage 110 is short or long action. The long action will measure 5 inches center to center and the short will measure 4 1/2 inches. Some of the older long action Savage 110 rifles will take the traditional short action calibers like 223,243 or 308. This has caused some confusion because the newer short action model 10 rifles are in these calibers. The best way to tell what action length you have is to measure from center to center of the action screws. The long action is 5.062 inches center to center, the short action is 4.275 inches center to center.

Is a model 70 Winchester 721180 a short action or long action?
The "action" is determined by it's caliber. 70's come in both long and short action. For instance, if the rifle is chambered in 30'06 Springfield or 7-mm magnum which are rounds over 3 inches long, it's a long action. If it's chambered in .22 hornet or .30 carbine, which are relatively shorter rounds, it's a short action. Pull the bolt back and measure from the bolt face to the front of the breech, if it's over 3 1/4", it's a long action. If you're not sure, post again with the caliber and we can tell you positively.
How do you find out about Remington Bolt Action 303 rifle with a bayonet serial number 5382?
Contacting Remington would be a long shot, and it probably wouldn't tell you much about the rifle's history, since it was a military weapon. What you have is probably a P14, manufactured under contract for the British during WWI.
