A short action is a bolt that is made to handle the length of cartriges such as the 308, 7mm-08, 260, 243 ets... A long action is made to handle cartriges such as the 270, 30-06, 25-06, 7mm mag, 300 win. mag.

Basically a short action has a shorter bolt than a long action.

This is a trick question ; right , So what happens if I give the wrong answer ? Will I go back to square one and loose my fawn status? Or : if I get it right , will I get bonus points toward being a RACK BUCK.. This is a tough one but I' ll take a stab at it.. OK Here goes-- Long actions are longer , and the short actions are.... shorter --Right?[&:]
