[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 469233, member: 6705"] Nathan, I answered you over on Savageshooters, but I'll comment here too. The only long action large shanks were RUM actions. They quit making them a few years ago. They still pop up, but they are getting tougher to find. You can always have your large shank barrel turned down to fit a small shank action. Many think that the large shanks are better and stronger but I've built several big RUM's and WSM's on small shanks and have seen no problems. For the extra money you save buying a small shank action, you could get your barrel turned to small shank. Also, you could sell your barrel easier if it was small shank. [/QUOTE]
