[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1405890, member: 52437"] Agree and Disagree. While having a short barreled 7mm rem mag really makes no sense, gun manufacturers are not stupid. They are not in the game to make really good rifles for the sake of making really good rifles. They are in the game for one reason...and that is money. I would say 90% of hunters out there do not care about how fast there rifle is truly firing. All they care about is, give me the cartridge I want in the lightest weight rifle I can get to hunt and kill deer at 300 yards or less. They then go grab a box of ammo that has the best claims of speed and "killing power". They then go out and shoot their deer. I think it makes total sense for Tikka to make their rifle in 22in. Many buy the Tikka t3 for 2 reasons...the accuracy claim in a lightweight rifle and that is exactly what Tikka does. They probably could have got away with 24in and still been light weight. I know out of all the people I hunt with, I am literally the only one that cares about these details. The rest of my group just wants the caliber they have trusted for years in a cool new gun and that is it. [/QUOTE]
