[QUOTE="desertbull, post: 1098582, member: 25995"] You said you wanted to shoot an elk out to 300 yards with a short rifle, more compatible with packing into far away places. Any of .260/.308/7mm short actions can double that range in a standard short action. With much better barrel life. Less weight and less recoil. To me, it does not make a lot of sense to build a long action magnum rifle with a short barrel. You are then short changing yourself the other direction. [/QUOTE]
