So, years ago I bought FNH SPR action from CDNN. I believe it is a last run from the old Winchester plant in Connecticut Because it uses the old style trigger. Shortly after, I purchased a McMillan HTG M40a1 stock inlet for a M70 s/a and the action fit with no problem. I recently pulled these out of the safe because I wanted to build a rifle for my daughter. I ordered a PTG bottom metal drop magazine floor plate with AI 4267 magazine. When I went to order a 1 piece Picatinny rail for it, I discovered something strange. The bridge measurement was not coming up to the numbers listed on a Win M70 inside hole to inside hole length for a short action. After some investigation, FNH stated that it uses a magnum action on their rifles.? The bolt face is for a .308 case, but it appears to be set in a WSM bridged receiver.? Can anyone verify this?
I wondering if any one else has encountered this? If so, did you notice any measurable difference for your bottom metal?
I cannot find a schematic for a model 70 WSM action so I cannot verify. Per EGW website, m70 s/a measures .3259 and a m70 WSM measures .3514 Inside to inside hole. Mine is definitely .3514.
