Guess my NULA .257 Weatherby is disqualified as a deer rifle, even though the Model 28 action weighs almost half a pound less than a Remington 700 short action.
Yeah John it was not particularly "well thought out" either.....
Looks like all rifle design wisdom now emanates from Tennessee....hilarious.
Happy Fourth!
I've been using short and long actions longer than some on here have been alive, and right now have short action rifles heavier than the long action rifles and vice versa. Depends on the cartridge and how you build the rifle.
After a few decades of use I would rate the current rancor over short actions as a lot of noise with little advantage and the cartridges that fit as "ho hum".
I like stuff with some legs and my back has never been broken by a sub 7 pound rifle nor one going 8.5#'s where called for.
I notice first thing these short action guys do is look for a longer box....so they can seat bullets longer in the shorty magazines....what's that all about?
The short action thing is a lot of silliness......
