[QUOTE="Starbuck, post: 2608801, member: 120719"] I consider 3.34 a medium action, but I know that there has been actions built specifically for 7x57 cartridges that fall in between a short action and an '06 action, so the short/medium/long delineations don't say much. Best is to list length like you did. I own a few, but I don't see the utility in true short actions. Reductions in overall rifle length, weight and cycling times are minimal to the point of being marketing ploys. I'd take most short action cases in a 3.34 length action, especially the SAUM's and WSM's. More COAL gets the most out of any fuel tank. [/QUOTE]
