I still don't understand how I'm such a bad guy for recommending a short action for the op's new deer rifle? I get it that the way I worded things I hurt feelings. I'm sorry.

All this was started because I recommended a short action rather than a long action for a new light weight deer rifle. I could have and should have been more polite(sorry again) but I still don't think I'm wrong about the actions.

Heck I think one in a 270 would be great but I don't think it would be better than a 243,250,260,any creed,the x47's,708,308. Big difference in what I said and the way it all unfolded.

So I've answered all the questions the best I can about why I said short is a better choice. Now why would the long action be a better choice?
