Deer die differently in other places?...lol you know I'm correct and now it just bugs you.

Melvin himself recommends the 284 on a short action and told me the 708 and 260's are excellent choices too. Maybe you missed the part about he built his daughter in law a 260? You'd know better than he would though.

By the way you've still not said why long action are so much better deer rifles. All you've seemed to do is pick apart my statements and opinions not to mention jumping to conclusions and taking stuff the wrong way getting all butt hurt.

So to the great gun writer....please explain why those who hunt deer with short action rifles are so stupid and a long action is such a superior choice.
