Hillbilly375,
I have no problem with you or anyone liking a short action. My point was that I feel they are quoting some gun article when they USE "short stroking" the long action or intermediate action as an action flaw! That IS operator incompetence, has nothing to do with the pros and cons of an action. It would, in fact, dismiss the 404, 505, 416 Rem. 458 Lott, and a host of others as useable calibers, if it were a fact.
I like the short, long and intermediate actions, I use them all and I have not problem with any of them. I would suspect most riflemen do as I do.. I am very fond of the 375 Ruger, and 416 Ruger as I stated in the above posts, have built a few of them on custom rifles..
Perhaps I worded it poorly and if so I apoligize and I am sure you can chew gum!
