G'Day Fella's,

Short and Fat and Con, what you have said about the Remington 700 Long action is correct.
My .25-06 (Rem 700) has an action and magazine long enough for a .375 H&H Mag to fit in.
The designer of the Remington 700 Mr Mike Walker, was way ahead of the rest of them when he was given this design job!!!
S&F, I'm personally a real fan of the Rem 700 series of rifles and if "ANT458" wants to chamber his Rem700 in .375/416 Ruger, he would end up with a rifle with a longer magazine than a lot of others, a great trigger and safety system, multiple scope base options, a better bedding platform etc .........
When you compare the Over All Length (OAL), of a Rem 700 long action to other long actions (.30-06 length), it is basically the same OAL.
In some cases it's shorter than the others and in may cases, it's actually a lot Lighter!!!
I reckon, Mr Mike Walker ROCKS!!!

Con, if I remember correctly, the Howa/ W-Vanguard Long action requires the action and magazine box to be lengthened to accommodate a .375 H&H cartridge?

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!!!
