Are these 308s built on a .30-06 length action?
Are the Ruger International, CZ550FS and the Tikka T3 .308s all built on a long action? I am curious if there is an difference between the .308 and .30-06 versions of these other then the chambering. I see the CZ .308 uses a detachable box magazine and the .30-06 doesn't but I am curious about the actions lengths.
Thanks in advance!

The Tikka T-3 is built on a long action. Similar to the 'one size fits all' approach of the old Winchesters.
The M-24 is also a 308 on a Rem 700 LA.
FWIW.


Cheers, Dave.

The Ruger .308's I've seen all were built on a short action...

My Ruger RSI is a MkII and it's on a short action.

Thanks for the info so far!

Anyone know if the CZ550FS .308 is a long or short action?

CZ's 308's are built on CZ's LA Mauser. Much like there 22-250 as well. The only short action made by CZ is the 527 so called "micro Mauser".

Great! That's what I needed to know. Another thread can bite the dust. Big Grin

Just happy I could actually be of help to somebody around here.
