[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1044354, member: 12995"] .284 Winchester or .280 AI...But you will want a long action for either of those calibers. On a short action, about the only other options would be to have the bolt face opened up and the magazine follower replaced (if you can even buy them for the Tikka T3) for a 7mm SAUM or 7mm WSM. But even with those you're going to want to use a long action to get all you can out of the case and bullet length. The only other thing for a magnum short action I can think of are both wildcat calibers and you WILL have to handload and form brass for them... The 7mm BR, 7mm Dasher, and 7mm SS. And all 3 will need very experienced handloaders to form brass for them. They're really not for newbies, I hate to say. But would get you what you are looking for. The 7mm-08 is a great caliber, but is not going to perform remotely similar to a short-action magnum. And in all honesty, you're going to want a long action for those calibers. [/QUOTE]
