This Mark V 6 Lug scaled down action seems real close to a Winchester 70 magazine length. It is no way close to a Mod 700/or clone (Bergara B14) I'm just getting anxious to get this rifle back, fireform some cases to the Ackley Improved and see what she will do. I had sent my Leupold 2.5x8 in for repair. It had an internal gasket or something sticking out into the FOV, bugged me. It also had the windage cap cross threaded when I got it. Don't know if they can chase the threads on it or not. I don't favor heavy/long scopes on lightweight rifle, but I have a hunting buddy who does! He has used the same Browning BLR in .308 since High School (1970) and several years ago he put a hog of a Burris Signature, had a big 50mm Objective and long as a Toddler's arm, ha. He said he liked how it "gathered light" in the darker timber/aspen. I'm glad he is packing it, not me!
