At the top of the short list are 7x57 and 308. The 308 will fit in a 2.8 inch short action of which there are many.The 7x57 really cries out for a 'long' short action of about 3.1 inches like a Montana or NULA neither of which are avaiable on every bush.
As I try to choose an rifle/action on which to build a 7x57, it would be nice to have a list of which company's short actions will accomodate the 3.1" mag length needed,
So far I have ruled out the short 77Mkll, the M7 and 700.
The short NULA and MRC will work.
Can anyone add to either list? CZ? M70?
