I am building up a Winchester Model 70 is 300 WSM and I have heard some things about the WSM action being a different length than the standard short action. So what I'm asking is, can I buy a stock for a M70 short action or does it have to be made specifically for a WSM action? Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: stock on Winchester M70
Sorry dude:
Yes, your stuck buying a stock specifically for a WSM action.
WSM is roughly 1/2" longer bolt spacing and feels wider but I haven't measured it yet.
Tactical Liquidators carries McMillan blanks that you can have inletted specifically for your action. I've got a blank A5 sitting next to me right now for my 6.5 WSM build.

Re: stock on Winchester M70
The best way to get an answer to this question would be to inquire with the manufacturer of the stock that you are interested in. I bet a quick PM to hide member Thomas Manners (of Manners Composite Stocks) would clarify any questions that you have. FWIW I believe my GAP 7 WSM action has the same footprint as other R700 short actions.
