On the CTR, it's a 3.4" action for a 3" magazine.... not exactly a 3.7" Rem 'long action' with a 2.8" mag box. And you get: solid bottom metal, a 10rd mag, a Sako TRG barrel that's can ready, a pic rail, sweet trigger, etc. to compensate you for packing that extra .4"......
That's the huge boon that folks look past when criticizing the action length.... you get a 3" magazine.... that makes the .260 the titties, and gives the .308 all kinds of room for the high BC pills.
The whole CTR concept is well thought out.... only the $180 for an extra magazine sucks.
Of course, you can AICS the Tikka and get the same results. And AICS steel mags with the Ruger Gunsite label are $50 all day long.
