Buncha short action haters!
I love short actions, much prefer them over long. When you can functionally dupe the performance of a magnum long action cartridge then it's just win/win. Or maybe win/win/win. Lots of "win".
The difference in the hand of my short action 7 WSM "Sendero" build is night and day to a LA Sendero, which I have also owned. The velocity difference is inconsequential.
All personal preference of course, but that's mine. There has to be a pretty good reason for me to build on a long action. I have two builds going now. A 6.5 SAUM on a short action and a .338 EDGE on a long action. The EDGE will be a big braked beast of a rifle. There's not really a short action cartridge that'll do all the EDGE offers so I'll just have to suffer a long action.
