[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 792189, member: 11717"] What bullet do you want to shoot? IMO, a 2.90" mag is too short. I have loaded for the 300 WSM in a short action and in order to seat bullets to fit the mag, I had to seat them deep in the case. The WSM case is 2.10" long, that leaves only .8" for bullet projection. I recommend a long action for long hig BC bullets. If you do go with a short action, be sure to short throat the chamber. If it's in the budget, don't skimp on a 700 action. Go custom. I think Howa/Vangard actions make a good platform for a factory platform. The standard action is about .25" shorter than the 700 long action and long enough for a WSM with long bullets. Get a center feed mag box. [/QUOTE]
