Since the above is true, here goes! Am going to do a switch barrel gun using an Axis II XP in 6.5 CM. However, I have been told by one person that there are two distinctly different sizes of receivers and by another that the receiver is the same and only the magazine determines whether short or long action. So, not being a Savage man (More Mauser than anything), what is the actual difference? I know that a "long"
action will take all of my calibers ie., .308, 257 Roberts, 8X57 and 6.5X55 but is it necessary? Old man, set in his ways, wants clarification. God Bless and shoot safe, Y'all.
