An ACTION question, Win M70

Before the advent of the Win short mag and the super short mag and the micro mini mag was there 2 or 3 action lengths? This leads to my real question I have a Win M70 in 375 H&H mag and I'd like to put it in a wood stock, saw one for sale that says it's a long action. Besides the obvious barrel diameter issue and adding the right bedding and beefing up, will this long action fit my 375? Is the 375 in an action that is the same as a 30/06 or is it in some "magnum length" action.

    it is a long action, the main difference in the magnum and the standard long actions is that the bolt face is opened up to ~.531-.532" instead of the ~.473" of the standard calibers (30-06, 270, etc)

    why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....
