Can someone tell me what rifles are designed for a 2 1/2" case? I'm familiar with short actions for, say, .308 and longer actions like for .300 Wea. But I don't know off hand something designed around the .30-06. What's the value?
Rman, Kimber designed an action specifically around the '06 parent case. The value is that it's only as long & big around as it needs to be. Very slender and light.
I believe Noz was referring to the 30 not needing a true magnum length action to achieve it's ballyhooed world-beatin' ballistics.
