You run a switch barrel, gotcha. Completely different scenario than the OP is asking about.
The military doesn't always do things correctly
...lowest bid over quality all day everyday.

...lowest bid over quality all day everyday.Can also have the bolt face opened up to take a magnum so ya...
LOL...you are exactly right!
I ran a 6.5 Creedmoor in a long action because that's what I had to build on. Worked fine.
Then removed that barrel and spun up a 7mm-08. Works fine
Had another LA receiver that I put a 308 barrel on and load long... Works fine.
What's another 1/2" stroke when you have "0" mag restrictions.
I also have 7 SAUM, 284 Win, and 6.5/284 on long actions. Not a problem with either.
Just me.

Tikka does it for cost of production. I thought that was easy enough to figure out yourself.

It's funny how defensive you guys get...
But it's still a long action and they run short action calibers in there so is it nonsense? I find a kind of funny too on how narrow-minded people can be with people thinking outside the box. I'm guessing that maybe We should all just be followers and not leaders That's right That would make a sheep. If being a sheep makes you happy then be a sheep I have no problems with that. But I'll be the sheepdog
Long action + Long action cartridge = Sheep
Long action + Short action cartridge = Sheep dog
What is Short action + short action cartridge = ???
I am re-thinking my suggestion, 6.5x284 may not be 'out of the box' enough. Not sure I could handle folks judging me as a 'follower' or 'sheep' based on my cartridge selection. I want to be a SHEEPDOG too!!
Good grief.

Short action + 22 short, long, or magnum= trailblazer
6.5x284 or even straight 284 would be a good choice but if OP wants factory ammo there is very rarely any of either in Canada, not sure about in the states. 7 PRC or 6.5 PRC would be a good choice if he wants to have the bolt opened
284 is my vote. It's on my short list.

I couldn't decide, so I ended up buying a Tikka T3X Hunter in 6.5x55 and building a Rem 700 .280AI both for deer.
