According to Frank de Haas's book the CF2 action was the same length from 222 to 300mag. I had a late model and it was disappointingly the same I think. Mine was in 222 and had a big spacer in the mag.
Another place to look (google) is here http://www.airgunspares.com/store/content/87/BSA/ but this list only defines the early Hunter models by action length. Maybe because the CF2s are not defined you can assume de Haas is correct. I am sure a BSA wizard will confirm though.
I had a cf2 in 222, it was a long action pretty sure they all were
Yep there all long action. But a very good one that will be good for a rifle build.
Good luck with your stock hunting:thumbsup:
Not only is it a long action, but the outline shape of the floor plate is different from the rest of the BSA production.

Was it cheaper than the UK?

After having a look around and then found this site Firearm Parts & Accessories | Military Surplus | Numrich Gun Parts did a search and they seem to have a good selection of parts for all sorts. Price I was very happy with at around the NZ $260 including shipping. Thought it was not a bad price and comparable to uk but not sure what shipping would have been from uk.Quote:

Have fun, they are nice accurate rifles. By the way, if you have lost the trigger adjustment Allen key, the size is .050".
Also, for those who are not aware, the mouse gun version of the CF2 is actually set up to feed the .222 Remington Magnum, so if you want to build a heavy weight .204 Ruger with reliable feeding, a CF2 in .222 with a stuffed barrel could be what you want.
yep they are all long same as the tikka t3s there's no such thing as a med or short action cf2 they just make the bolt stop longer or shorter depending on the cal
bloody nice rifles though
you shouldn't have any issue with numrich if the part your buying is under $100us if its $101us you need an export permit which the us govt charge like wounded bulls forQuote:

Thanks ZG47 for that bit of info. Good information to have and I will check it when it arrives. Currently in Auckland customs. So not to far away ;)Quote:
