Anyways, @charlesh777, now that you have been inundated with recommendations, any decisions yet?
.300RUM. It will kill anything you point it at. With authority.

Nice!
How do you fit it in a Short Action?
I agree. I even consider my FN Belgium 98 Mauser more of a medium action perfect for 7x57 or 6.5x284.I don't really get the fascination with short actions. Bolt stroke and overall gun length changes little, but you have WAY more options for developing loads if you can use a longer Magazine that fits in a long action rifle. Lots of guys use a short action then futz endlessly trying the extend the mag well to seat heavy bullets longer. I have even seen guys try to put 7x57 in a short action, which does nothing but mess up a really competent round.
No, sir. No concrete decisions yet. After talking with a friend who is into predator hunting, I am leaning towards starting on the smaller end of things for coyotes. Then in the future having a second barrel spun up. Will be going through Straight Jacket Armory for a barreled Origin Action to start with. Finishing up saving for the initial blow to the pocket book for that, so there is still time to make a solid decision. A lot of good recommendations, which I greatly appreciate. Not sure if I want to do one cartridge or two. Would definitely be cheaper for coyotes if I did two and had a separate barrel or rifle for elk. Would especially save money when I can reload.Anyways, @charlesh777, now that you have been inundated with recommendations, any decisions yet?
Single feed, and remove the bolt stop.Nice!

I don't disagree with your opinions. However, since the Obama induced shortages I've gravitated toward short action cartridges. So I like short actions as well, but I'm not trying to shoehorn in cartridges on the ragged edge of fitting. Nothing based off the .284 Win or X57 case in a short action for me.I don't really get the fascination with short actions. Bolt stroke and overall gun length changes little,
I'd vote .22 ARC or Creedmoor unless your state requires 6mm or larger for big game like mine. Then I'd go 6mm Creedmoor. When/if you reload, then things open up a bit to what you can play with.No, sir. No concrete decisions yet.
