Remington 700 BDL 30-06 long or short action?

[dblaelliott]

Hi
I just bought this 700 BDL in 30-06 and I'm looking for a good scope mount for it. since my purchase I've learned that there are long and short actions. so which one do I have? any help on this matter would be appreciated. any suggestions on the right kind of scope base and rings too.

Thanks

You have a long action receiver. A short action receiver will not fit 30-06.

thanks for the info. now I can search for the right base.

Badger 20 MOA base. I've also heard good things about the EGW which I assume is cheaper. Also check Seekins precision.
