[QUOTE="WiscGunner, post: 1894163, member: 97288"] The first question you should ask yourself is whether you want to run detachable magazines or an internal magazine. This willnarrow down your cartridge length options. The stock you have linked fits a 700 Short Action and has an internal aluminum chassis that fits AICS magazines. ARC, Alpha and A curate magazines tend tohave the longest internal cartridge length from the factory. 2.95 to 2.97”. This Pprticular stock is not a good one for modifying to use a longer magazine. You may order it directly from Manners with other options that may better suit you needs if wanting a long action, internal magazine, etc. FYI I run my 7SS in ARC magazines at 2.945. It is important to remember the benefit of using a short action is NOT velocity although Sherman cartridges are designed to maximize a short action if that is what you have. I run a short action because I want to shoot other short action cartridges in a switch barrel setup. If you want more length or speed than 700SA offers consider the MAX cartridge family in a Tikka or a 300SM in a full length action. [/QUOTE]
