[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2093345, member: 116486"] I have a few Tikkas the smaller calibres can sometimes use the longer magazine. The Bolt stop can be changed where you might have say a .260 , more commonly a .308 loaded out long and a .30-06 mag to accommodate. I wanted a lightweight rifle years ago but did not have the budget. I decided at the time the .7mm-08 would be great for an all round hunting rifle in Australia. A short action Remington model 7 would have been my choice. In that case for a short lightweight hunting rifle I think it suits. For the hunting ammo of the time it would have been suitable. My opinion, Saying they are "Stupid" is stupid if they are fit for purpose. Times have changed, high BC projectiles, longer hunting projectiles and cartridges like 7mm SAUM, 6.5cm and stuff I'm not familiar with benefit from long actions. Some require it others may just be restricted by short action builds. Horses for courses. [/QUOTE]
