Would like to know what the magazine box length is. Hoping the box is longer than 2.36". If anybody has one could you measure the model 70 wssm for me, thanks

Looks to be about 2.36" to maybe 2.37". Two reloading manuals I checked show a max OAL of 2.36" for the WSSM's. Talk is cheap. It takes money to buy whiskey.
