Help with a tikka bolt stop question

[matt_3479]

I've been reading a few posts about tikka actions and trying to figure out a 270. Wsm build. Now I've seen a few builds but I've read a couple times that it's best to start with a long action mag bolt face vs a wsm action even though you can cut the bolt stop to allow to make it cycle further back, sometimes this can cause issues. Just wondering what's everyone's thoughts on this. Is it okay to go with a wsm action or just get a long action? Hard to find used tikka's but stumbled across a 300. Wsm

It works either way. You can turn a short action stop into a long action. Or buy a 7mm or 300 wm. I've also traded for them. Or you can buy an aftermarket bolt stop.
