It is a long action that has limiting spacers included. The magazine has a spacer at the rear and the bolt has a different bolt stop that prevents the bolt from moving to the full long action length. So I have been told.
Your winchester model 70 chambered in .308 Win.is a short action.

The 223 is considered a Short Action rifle.
Yes, the length of the action.
your win mod. 70 was made in 1953,that being the case there are the short action calibres which are rounds with a loaded length of 2.800 in.or less and the long action which are for calibres with a loaded length of 3.340 in. in length.the short action calibres were .22 hornet,.243 winchester,.257 roberts,308 winchester,300 savage,.the long action calibres were .220 swift,270 win.30-06 springfield,300H&H..375H&H etc. hope this helps.
Probably. The .257 Bob has a case length of 2.233, longer than the .308 Winchester (2.015). However, on a Model 700, measure distance between the receiver screws. If it is 6.5 inches, THAT rifle is a short action. 7.35 inches, long action.
A pump action rifle.
Mine is a 1-12.
yes your model 70 in that caliber is a short action.All rifles that shoot a loaded cartridge that is 2.80 inches in length is considered a short action.
Based on cartridge size, 30-06 and longer is a long action. .308 and shorter is short action.
