Default Rifle 'action' question!
What is the general difference between a rifle with a 'long' action and one with a 'short?'

Default RE: Rifle 'action' question!
the caliber length. as in the 308 is a short action while the 30-06 is a long action. yes they are the same 30 caliber bullet but the casing length is the determination.
