Is a Winchester mod. 70 pre 64 270 a long or short action?

The Winchester Model 70 pre-64 in .270 Winchester is a long action. The .270 cartridge is longer than the standard short action cartridges, which typically include rounds like the .243 or .308. Therefore, the Model 70 in .270 is designed to accommodate the longer length of the cartridge.


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.
