It's the same length on Remingtons,Winchesters and Sakos but the feed rails/magazine willmost likely be modified or replaced. Buy an existing gun chambered in that or any other RUM and then you can rebarrel it if needed to what you want.

cma,
rem. builds 2 lengths of 700 actions, and 3 possibly 4 bolt face diameters.
I have 700 BDL's in the following 6.5 gibbs (was a 270 win), 7mm rm, 7mm STW, 7mm AM( was a 300 RUM) have measured them several times, they are all the same length.

Owning both the 7mmstw and 7mmRUM,my own choice would be the 7mmstw.There is very little difference performance wise between the two,and all that is required with a 7mmremmag is a rechamber or rebarrel.The RUM often requires feed rail mods with a non RUM action.

I leaning towards the STW, I think I would have more room in the mag to mess with OAL and still have a repeater. But, I'm not getting too serious about it right now, hopefully the first of the year I'll be starting up my business so I won't have any money for a while.
