If the long action came from the factory as one of the ultra mags, then it might be a large shank. Most long actions are small shank. Savage does not make a "magnum" action per se except the 110BA.

I am not 100% but I think some magnums had a different size firing pins.

I have a flat back magnum action and I swap heads to 473 no problems.

Actually 30-06, 270 etc will feed out of my older 300 WM magazine.
