[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 891670, member: 10"] I would probably recommend a Defiance Rebel with standard 1.4" tenion or a Bat HR or HRPIC receiver for what your looking to do. Sounds like you want lightest weight possible but not the reduction in strength. There really are no SHORTER actions that will support this chambering. Basically, you still need the full length receiver as far as bolt throw and magazine length goes. While the case is shorter, having the added length offered in a longer DM system will result in the ability to seat the best long range bullets out where they should be and not taking up case capacity. Plus, a long action will feed more smoothly then anything that would be shorter in length with this diameter of a case. If it were me, for a lighter packing rifle, my choice would be the Defiance Rebel short tenion or BAT HR. [/QUOTE]
