As long as I'm seeming to be getting reamed, I will ask this question, why the love of a SA over a LA? What is the advantage? Especially considering the cartridges in question. Perhaps the age old 308 vs. 30-06 issue.. I have the 06.
I like a short action because I'm short with a short LOP. This makes the overall length of the rifle shorter for the same length barrel. Throw in the fact that the .308 Winchester will do everything the 30-06 will do with bullet weights in the 160 to 170 grain area with less felt recoil and what's not to like.
This is my opinion I'm sure not shared by anyone else.
