Ruger M-77 6mm Rem question

Was the tang safety Ruger in 6mm Rem a long action or a short action? A friend wants me to pick up a stock for his son that can be cut down....

meaure the full length of the trigger guard, NOT the screws, on the 77 (mki) NOT mkII
7 3/4 = short
8 1/4 = long

mkII is 7 5/8 and 8 3/8

opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club

Short.

However, the identical case .257 Roberts and 7x57 were on the long action. Go figure.

The Ruger short action tang safety rifle is a little longer than some short actions. The magazine is about 3.00 long.
I have 2 M77s. One is a 6MM 77V varmint weight rifle (short action). The other is a 7X57 and is a long action. Both are all factory original.
