Now why would the long action be a better choice? Because it accommodates the 270 WCF.. dave See above grin

Nice move, Kaleb. First you strongly imply anybody who choose anything except a short action for a deer rifle is semi-stupid, then you claim they're the ones obsessed with action length. On second thought if me saying "I can't see using a long action on a well thought out light weight deer rifle"......y'all take it as me implying semi stupid it's on you.

If you really want to go for a lightweight rig, get his 'super short' action and chamber it for 223/AI.

I talked to him about that in length at that show in Nashville. It was very cool to meet and talk to him very nice man. I was going to order just that but things came up and I guess I chickened out and got a Montana. I like the Montana just fine but still have that itch for one from Mr. Forbes. I doubt if I had got the NULA I'd wished I bought 3 kimbers. Maybe some other time.

Kaleb,
What is the opposite of "well thought out"? I can think of several possible meanings, including poorly thought out, dumb, semi-stupid, etc. etc. Just because you didn't plainly state it doesn't mean you didn't plainly mean it.

I'm not one to insult people or be rude for no reason. I've been very polite to many here over the years. Lots of drama over me implying you made a poor action size choice....if you took it that way.
no I don't think the oposite of well thought out is retarded stupid idiots making poor choices. It seems you do?

I could do everything I need to do with a 270 and 130gr Winchester supremes. I kill deer with custom rifles and handloads just as well as I did with factory 243's and 270's....grin

For somebody who implies he thinks "well" you apparently don't think much: The opposite of "well thought out" is indeed some version of NOT thinking well.
You apparently also have reading comprehension problems. Here's my first post to you again: "First you strongly imply anybody who choose anything except a short action for a deer rifle is semi-stupid, then you claim they're the ones obsessed with action length." You still apparently are.
No, I wasn't offended because of thinking you'd insulted my choice in deer rifles. In fact, I've killed deer not only with rifles having short bolt actions (some of which were deliberately built on short bolt actions), but medium-length bolt actions, long bolt actions, lever actions, pump actions, semiautomatic actions and even single-shot actions. And the vast majority of the single-shot actions were even shorter than any centerfire short bolt action. Do I get some sort of gold star for using an even shorter action?
Instead, I was offended because, again (in case you missed it here) YOU brought up action length for a "well thought out" deer rifle, and then suggested other people were obsessed with action length because they didn't totally agree with you.

lol THANK YOU. This has turned into the silliest conclusion jumping to thread I've ever seen. I chose to build a 280ai with my dad's old o6. So I guess I'm saying anyone who didn't build a 280AI made a poor choice...Laffin.

John that was too much for me to read and comprehend. I'm done apologizing for hurt feelings over me thinkin a well thought out light weight deer rifle would use a short action. I would sure hate to know I jumped to conclusions that quickly. Hell I built a light 280ai but I don't think it offers anything over a 708?
So if something isn't or wasn't well thought out it means the person is a fool and should just die?....I didn't realize I meant all that

You're an idiot if you don't use a short action NULA for a lw deer rifle....well, unless you want the rifle chambered for a long action round. For what the OP first listed, it would be hard for me to go with the long action if starting from scratch.
