Picked up a Stevens 7-08 recently and was just wondering about the barrel shank. Measured the nut at 7/8" and according to everything Ive searched, it means it is a large shank. Is this ALWAYS true??? Other posts have led me to believe that the wsm,rum, and magnum chambers used this size shank and not on the 7-08. Is it possible to have a 7/8s nut on a small shank?? Just curious.

Thanks
Dan
