70's Winchester Model 70 - LA or SA?

[nritzell]

Hey all, I recently picked up a Win Model 70 in .243 Winchester, If my memory is correct it was made in 1976. I'm trying to find the correct base and rings for it but I don't know if it's a LA or SA, and I'm not home to check. Anyone know what it would be?

I’d assume being a .243 they would consider it a short action

243 is a short action (SA) cartridge.

Until 1984, all receivers were long action, even with a short action cartridge.
