[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 454011, member: 1521"] I would not consider a WSM a short action cartridge. You will have a difficult time hodge podging with this cartridge, and ending up with any more than a poor performing mess of a gun. So I'll throw in a recommendation: Buy a savage 300wsm, and do whatever you like from there. -It has the correct boltface(and floating bolthead) -The action is correctly setup for a larger barrel tennon(to provided sufficient barrel steel around chamber) -It has a working magazine for this cartridge -Look for Controlled Round Push Feed(CRPF), and standing blade ejection with this action(awesome) -Look for accutrigger -plenty of aftermarket, and do it yourself barrel/cartridge changing [/QUOTE]
