[QUOTE="Laguna Freak, post: 2515664, member: 87188"] Interesting sentiment. I can’t really imagine what this statement means to you aside from short action magazine constraints but I confess I haven’t read all the posts. Regardless, it is true that any magazine fed short action imparts BC / range limitations. For that reason I’m building my 300 WSM Mtn Rifle on a blue-printed M70 CRF long action. I’m planning to shoot 200 AB inside 600 yds and 210 ABLR beyond 600. Those divergent weight/BC boolits will require some extra diligence in the field. I’ve got a Bartlein #4 CF on order since December. Looks like I may see it by Thanksgiving. I have a CF Stocky’s VG2, and I’ll be installing a brake rather than suppressor because mine will be 26” barrel. Hoping to finish near 7 lbs bare rifle. I’m also keeping my short action 300 WSM, mentioned above, in spite of its magazine limitations because this chambering is well proven and mine has shown to be capable of 0.16 moa at 300 yds with handloads in the factory original rifle, so it makes sense to me. This rifle is going to my ‘smith this week to get the action blue-printed and a new 26” Brux #3 because the 21 yr old Win factory barrel is toast. I may eventually mount it in a CF VG2 also. The market just makes it a bit of a challenge to get stocks inlet for the M70 action. [/QUOTE]
