[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2947579, member: 103303"] Tikka only makes one action length, so a guy can turn a short action Tikka into a long action by simply changing the bolt stop (and magazine of course). I don't see any advantage (other than shorter bolt throw) to switching from a long bolt stop to a short one. Performance wise, it's goona be hard to improve on the the .280AI with a standard boltface. I would chamber .280AI again, or maybe go up to 30-06. Due to the shorter barrel, a larger caliber will offer a better expansion ratio - all other things equal won't sacrifice *as much* velocity as a smaller bore will. [/QUOTE]
