Howa M1500 Tactical .308

[supertech]

I just purchased a Howa M1500 Tactical chambered in .308. I was wondering if someone could tell me if this is considered long or short action. I am assuming its a short action but we all know what happens when one assumes. I am looking to upgrade to a bell and carlson medalist varmint/tactical stock but it is only available for short action Howas. This is what leads me to ask this question. Any insight is much appreciated.

Short action you must have.. I make awesome bottom metal for them too..

you're good to go. 308 is definately a short action cartridge. by the way, good choice on the rifle.

yeah, but since it is basically a entry level wetherby, do we know if wetherby made short action/ long action differences for their budget rifles?
