[QUOTE="jimbires, post: 1353315, member: 11011"] Mike , I have the older 595 tikka in 7mm-08 . the 595 is a short action . I can reach the lands with my rifle . on the T3 rifles there is only one action length . so if you can't reach the lands with your combo you can buy a long magazine , and swap your short bolt stop to a long action bolt stop . by doing this, you now basically have a long action rifle and should be able to reach the lands with any bullet you desire to use . just check the twist rate before you buy . I was going to buy a 243 , but I felt the twist was to slow for the heavy bullets I wanted to use . good luck on this Jim [/QUOTE]
