this does get alittle confuseing between manufactures.
there are some short action cartridges chambers in long actions. some calibers are border line, 220swift comes to mind. then there are actions longer than standerd action.
what about the manufactures that use all long actions. ever wonder why ruger short actions are the same lenght as there long actions.
the 204 is considerd a short action. but a rem short action wont be the same as a rugers nor will either of these be the same as a kimber.
then on the other hand theres rifles like coopers that build the action arouind the caliber. cooper has i think 5 standerd action lenghts.
im sure im getn side tracked quite alot. hope im not makeing a confuseing topic even more confuseing.
one good way to tell with remingtons when replaceing the stock is to pull the stock from action and it will say long or short. i know for a fact the 204 adl stock is stamped short inside the stock.
