The "action" is determined by it's caliber. 70's come in both long and short action. For instance, if the rifle is chambered in 30'06 Springfield or 7-mm magnum which are rounds over 3 inches long, it's a long action. If it's chambered in .22 hornet or .30 carbine, which are relatively shorter rounds, it's a short action. Pull the bolt back and measure from the bolt face to the front of the breech, if it's over 3 1/4", it's a long action. If you're not sure, post again with the caliber and we can tell you positively.
