[QUOTE="Caulder, post: 2846037, member: 126915"] I'd probably be rolling a 6.5 PRC here, but 300 WSM is also a fantastic cartridge. Don't let anyone tell you not to run it out of a short action. That's what it was made for and it already shoots bullets that are heavy enough for most anything from a short action without needing to seat differently. Short action is both a little shorter and a little lighter, which together make for a decent improvement over a long action when you are hiking a lot. No matter where I'm hunting, my long actions sit in the safe. Defiance offers their medium action that opens up your reloading possibilities without moving too far away from the short action. I'd just get a short action like a nanook and run. You won't be able to max out the 300 WSM, but you don't want that much recoil anyway and it is more than capable of fitting the needs you have for it. [/QUOTE]
