remington 700 long action to short action spacers so you can use a long action with short action cartridges?

My 243 win is built on a Rem 700 long action. I just used a small block of wood to block the magazine well.

Love the question. "Does anyone make a long action Remington". Might check with Remington! :-)

Buy a blind follower (and you've got a single shot.) Different magazines and magazine springs, plus the follower is "wrong" in my .257 Roberts rebuild using LA stock. It's a Model 70, but same-same approach. Or, a wooden "spacer" would work.

why block a 243 in a long action? are you going to change the bolt stop to change the length of bolt travel

I think this is a legit question. I had a 6mm Remington barrel on a 721 action (formerly a 30-06) and there were feeding issues.
I prefer classic.
