I just bought a 1970's era Winchester XTR Model 70 rifle from Gun Broker. I don't have it in my hands yet so I can't get a good measurement. The gun is chambered in .308 Winchester and I'd like to buy a Redfield one piece scope base for it. My question is: For scope base purposes, is this a short action or long action gun. It looks like a long action from the pictures but I'm not sure.
Any help would be much appreciated.
