"...is that a wrong assumption?..." It is if you don't have a K98. You'll note that Boyd's sells 3 different Mauser stocks. Best you note their stuff requires fitting too. Not necessarily by a smithy though. Read the instructions.
"...short or long action..." That's a Remington thing. However, a 7mm-08 is a short action as it's based on the .308.
Who made your rifle?
Does the stock fit other than being short? How short? A recoil pad will add about an inch of LOP and you can use spacers(plastic white lines on stocks) to get more length. Give you an option.
