I thought they would be using the same action (short) that they use on the .223 but thought I would give them a call to make sure. It is a SHORT action.

Hi just to let you know,be weary when ordering a stock with a high cheek rest, i ordered the short action which Ruger said was correct but you cannot insert the bolt,now i have to work on the stock to make it fit. :confused:
