What Remington 700 calibers are long action?
I believe it is considered a short action. Hope This Helps. Actually, The .308 is a short action cartridge, but has been sold in both long and short actions. It is a shortened version of the 30-06 case, and as such, will feed fine. A long action can feed anything based on the same parent case. The 308 is a shortened 30-06. The 270 is a necked down 06. the 243 is a necked down 308. All will feed fine. Most .308s are short action, but there are a great many that are not. For years savage never made a short action, they just chambered long action rifles in those calibers.
