[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 1741093, member: 14435"] I like the sako action, but if memory serves me right its mag length is only 2.9” which limits you to seating some bullets pretty deep. Which still works (I ran the 230 otm in my wsm at 2.88”) but most guys don’t like to seat bullets that deep. I also dont think there is much you can do to gain mag length due to the mag latch/trigger housing design. I haven’t played with the browning enough to know, but if you are going to rebarrel and restock anyways start with a custom long action magnum receiver. There are some decent actions for not a ton of $$ (defiance tenancy or gunwerks grb come to mind) You will end up fairly close in price anyways, and you will have a rifle thats put together the way you want.
