[QUOTE="R. Cram, post: 3100804, member: 116633"] I agree that its not real to think there is a real difference in cycling a short action vs long action, I have shot and still do shoot Highpower across the course which has two parts of the match which are rapid fire and have always shot a bolt gun partially because I think it's fun to run a bolt very fast. I have shot many thousands of rounds rapid fire with my model 70's which were all long actions and when running the bolt very fast I can't tell any difference between them and the ruger precision rifle I use now. I went to a rpr because we can use scopes now and part of the rapid fire is a mandatory magazine change or recharge during the string and with my m70's I would recharge them with a stripper clip but with a scope in the way that is not possible. I have made one of my rpr's into a hunting rifle because I like the length of pull and cheek height adjustability and it's always in the back of your mind, could it shoot better if I loaded closer to the lands and I believe some of the vld bullets need to be very close to the lands to shoot well [/QUOTE]
