All Axis rifles are long action. However, for a 243 you need the stock that's inletted for the short action magazine.
I would like to order the Boyd stock and it asks short or long action. So I just want to confirm that a new Axis .243 (purchase in 2012) is a long action and not a short action. Looking at the featherweight thumbhole in forest camo or pepper haven't decided yet on that part.
Thanks,matt

Neither, the axis is it own length, it is in-between a long and a short action considering the 10/110 rifles. The axis uses a different trigger guard to control the length of cartridge. Why Boyds would have such a thing on there web site is beyond me
No the action length is exactly the same between any axis/edge action. The magazine cut out is the same the difference is controlled by the trigger guard, which in turn allows different magazine lengths to be utilized. With that said, you can take a Axis/Edge chambered in 30/06, and convert It to a 223, by changing the trigger guard, Bolt head, and magazine.
Not with the laminate stocks. The op is ordering a boyds stock they utilize a 10/110 trigger guard and therefore must be inletted for the proper magazine. Same with the SSS laminate stocks for the Axis.
Matt, since you're Axis is a 243Win, you need the Boyd's stock labeled "short action".
I think in this case if you think of action as complete with magazine, then it's what LoneWolf said. 243 means "short action".
The one who dies with the most toys still dies--except in Christ.
Thank you for the info and placing order for a short action Boyd stock in forest camo.

I presume that the .308 is also a short action?
Correct, same cartridge as 243.
When ordering a Boyd's stock just order it for the ("chambering" long or short) you have and don't pay attention to what length the "action" is, that is the same for all.

I just left the Boyd's site. To place an order for the Axis stocks, you are only asked "Short action DBM", or "Long action DBM". We are not asked the chambering in the order. If you have a long action chambering, you want to click on "Long Action DBM". If you have a short action chambering, you want to click on "Short Action DBM". ;-)
Yep. 7-08 is derivednfrom the 308 case.
If I have an Axis in 30-06 with Boyds stock and want to change it to 223 I can't use the same stock ?
