Good Morning, well, seems I'm stuck again. I am a huge fan of the 7mm08. I shoot 162 gr SST's in a Rem 700 short action and a factory detachable mag. Its a factory gun, and a true 3/4 inch rifle when I do my part. So here is the rub. The 162 sst is way down in the powder column and the boattail is past the neck/shoulder junction. The detachable mag max length wont allow me to seat the bullet out far enough to get the length I need. I don't think and magazine assembly for the short action will allow the length I need. So, I am thinking about getting a Zermat Origins Action in medium length and build the rifle I have always wanted. I can swap around and pick up a long Rem 700 action and have it accurized, or go the route of the Zermat. What would you do in this situation?
