[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2226457, member: 115819"] I've never read about anyone regretting a tikka purchase, at least on this planet. But as as Savage owner who just switched to a SAUM I can say 2 things, positive and negative. 1. The short action detachable mag in WSM size feeds really really well. I have to take people's word for it that it's a problem in other actions. It's better than when it was a creedmoor in the 308 mag. 2. You'll be theoretically cramped. On one hand people will say The WSM with a 147 for instance is going to be "neutered" and there'll be a lot of bomb throwing on here about sacrificing powder space to bullet length for those long bullets. On the other hand: Maybe you don't care like me. I'm totally okay with it. I'm getting pressure just before compression, even with a 90 thou jump. I think the savage short action is great for this class/length but if I heard right the tikka is also a little long for a short caliber. Of course if you do it in a tikka you can just change out parts to make it a long action if you're dissatisfied. I assume you're thinking 6.5x300 wsm not a 6.5x7mm? [/QUOTE]
