To remind people of the original question. Is there a rifle action in 7-08 that is longer than the standard so a person can load bullets out farther? The standard as I understand is 2.800". My idea is to convert it to .284 Win but be able to load higher BC bullets. WSM box in a short-action M70 will give you 3". You might have to tweak the lips a bit.

Your "idea" isn't worth a fhuqk. Hint. I ordered (500) .838 BC 190 Beer Cans last night. Namely for 7-08's,7-08AI,Mouser,280 and 7mm RemMag. Obviously in parcels suited to same,as my cup runneth over. Hint. You'd do well to erase your Pipe Dream(s) and simply revisit reality,as you haven't a FIRST fhuqking clue. Hint. Just sayin'............

I was thinking standard factory options, but I guess I should have said that. Still, I appreciated the advice.

Tikka you can convert to LA with a Mag and bolt stop.

Your very WELL founded Insecurities and Professional Victim Hurt Feeler Reports,go without sayin'. Just sayin'. Hint.
I find it fascinatingly HILARIOUS,just how incredibly fhuqking deep your Stupidity is. Dots have been connected via Silver Platter and yet your Delusions persist. Hint.
Bless your heart,for doing the best you can,with what INCREDIBLY little you "have" to "work" with. Hint.
Fhuqking LAUGHING!..............

2.800" is the standard if it is a Rem or Rem clone. Others are all over the place. Win. 3.00 etc. Tikka is often recommended as you can change the mag and bolt stop. But then you have a long action and could have started with a Remington LA and enjoyed the ton of aftermarket support. Mostly after one decides on case capacity and what bullet you want to shoot, choice gets determined by brass you have available, and often what is trendy. Short actions are in medium actions are needed for the new longer bullets with some cartridges. Short barrels so we can run suppressers. Logic has no place if you want to build a new rifle. Build what you want. P.S. we are getting close to replicating the length of the Mauser 93 mag box.

The 284 Win has long been known to be on the wrong platform (Short Action). In todays world with bullet BC in the .700-.800 range the 284 Win is no different than the 6.5-284 Norma, which carries a 3.2+” COAL. You’d be better off keeping the 7-08 Rem and buying and changing the mag box to a 3 incher.

Going Teeker "gets" you nothing,because few things suck as much ass,as Teeker mags. Hint.
The "difference" between 7-08 and 284 Win is just a couple "clicks" on a 1000yd erector,assuming both are done correctly. Hint.
Pass the 7-08,180's,Alpha brass and hold The Fluff. Hint................

Knew a guy who built a 7MM-08 on an Interarms Mark X action. If I remember correctly it had a spacer in the magazine, dang that rifle shot good.

I'd 84L wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy before suffering a fhuqking Mouser 98. Hint. Teeker's bane,is their Dog Schit magazines,in all things excepting CTR. Their 1-8" 223's getting the greatest nudge,by going CTR,though I only have (4) 223's so configured and (1) sipping from AICS. Hint. Exceed CTR COAL and you are left with a Goat Fhuqk. Hint. The Mark X is obviously a Mouser and an easy pass. The S/S CRF 70 S/A's wearing a Whizzum box(no spacer) and ejector/bolt stop isn't horrid. Hint. The 284 Win is an EASY pass,from any/all angles and pardon my simply shooting it all and then some. Hint. just sayin'..............

Big [bleep], is that necessary with the thermal imager? 😅
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Just get a Tikka and be done with it. For my 7-08, I just had to get the M+ magazine Tilkka uses for the Creedmoor to seat further out. I didn’t have to mess with the bolt stop at all like on my .300 WSM. Exactly^^
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I have built 284's on short Model 70's, with the spacer removed (not bad), Sako 579 with a homemade box (worked but not great), Turkish Mauser (good length, fed great), and a pre-64 Model 70. I also had a factory SA Ruger 284. If that rifle had been a 7-08, it would have been a great rifle but this pre-dated the 7mm-08 by several years. I built a few single shot target rifles (40x, Savage 112V, Musgrave) and the cartridge worked fairly well in that venue (this was back when the 162 Hornady was the high BC bullet) but had limitations. The OP is looking for a longer 7-08 so he can turn it into a 284. I would go with the Model 70 just because I like them better than Tikkas. I don't really like the concept though, because I don't really like the cartridge. GD
