[QUOTE="Holycity73, post: 1894804, member: 106526"] The action length is a long action. The cycling distance is determined by the bolt release. A long action has a longer milled shelf, for example. IMO, a hunting rifle with the potential to have multiple calibers over its lifetime should always be a long action. The benefit you gain in a short action versus the .000000009987 second of additional cycling time is moot. It’s not like you’re playing bullet baseball, I mean PRS. If you still wish to shorten the bolt stroke, there are several companies as well as OEM distributors who have short and bolt releases which come with roll pins. It’s an easy modification and at that point it simply comes down to buying a shorter internal length box magazine. Tikkas are quite possibly the perfect factory action for modification. [/QUOTE]
