[QUOTE="adamjp, post: 1748525, member: 40749"] The Tikka action cutout at the bottom where the magazine mates up to is too short for effective use with a 280 and bullets suitable for such a fine case. Instead of 7mm WSM (which I note you have already chosen) I would advocate for the 7mm SAUM. There is now more varieties of brass available to suit the SAUM cases than the WSM cases, particularly since the SAUM cases are all simple neck dia. changes. Oh and a 24in barrel is plenty. Going longer make the rifle less mobile and does not add enough extra velocity to improve the trade-off. [/QUOTE]
