Using up the last of my question quota for the week, does anybody know how long the mag box is on the current Savage long action? How about the Stevens action? Standard cartridge length for the 30-06 is 3.340" and most long actions are built around that, but I am hoping that the Savage or Stevens is somewhat longer. Being able to load another 0.100"-0.150" longer would be a great thing, if possible.

Thanks,
Mark
 
Whew... I thought I posted some wrong info, but it turns out I didn't post any at all yet.
I have a savage 110 in . 300 win mag. With 180gr hornady sst's I'm out at 3.494 oal, but I load to 3.484, I actually might move it out a bit. My mag does indeed handle them at 3.494 but I chose to run them shorter for some reason.

Awesome, that is 0.160" longer than the standard 3.334" OAL.
