I never noticed, but my short action 308 is also a long action. I got a replacement stock and noticed is I got a long action bottom plate a long action 3006 mag fits perfect and 2506 loaded shells feed right up. Cool. I'm now on the prosses changing it to a 6mm 06 AI. Who knew? ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

Yep, Savage 110 actions are are all long. they just block the magazine and add a longer bolt stop[. Same as m70 Winchester. ------------- “ The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions.” |

I noticed that too. I have one in .223 and the action looks 30-06 length. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

6mm-06 AI is an interesting cartrige. What weight bullets are you going to use and how fast are they going? ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

Be good to have a 26 inch barrel...lots of powder, small bore volume. ------------- “ The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions.” |

If we do a 6mm06 it will be a 26"

I have been thinking a lot about getting a Savage Axis (cheap at Walmart) and a prefit barrel but I'm having a hard time deciding on a cartridge. A 6mm-06 or a 6.5-06 might be something I could use. Would a 6.5-06 need a 26 inch barrel? ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

It would utilize more of the power. ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

The 6-06 isn't going to be an improvement on you 244/5mm Remington. Bore is just to small to burn more powder. 6.5-06 loaded hot wil be somewhat is an improvement over the Swed, more powder to burn in a 26 inch barrel. just thoughts. ------------- “ The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions.” |

Thanks D. Good point Bear. 6.5-06 would probably kinda overlap with the Swed. Maybe not enough difference to justify a different rifle. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

I think a significant increase as it has 11 grs of H20 larger case. 10 grains of powder..more velocity, if you have the barrel to burn it. ------------- “ The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions.” |
