[QUOTE="Carey Farmer, post: 3097840, member: 122715"] The only reason I have ever bought any short actions is because from time to time I find screaming good deals on used short action rifles and just can't pass them up. Otherwise I would only buy long actions. My family has three short action rifles, all rebarreled to 6.5 SAUM. If you shoot large capacity cases and heavy-for-caliber bullets, with a short action you will always end up fighting mag length after the lands retreat a bit. Best to buy a long action set up for at least a 3.850" magazine. [/QUOTE]
