I'm not opposed to long actions.... when there's a reason.
However the "ultimate light weight hunting rifle" will most assuredly be a short action. It's that whole "ultimate" thing.
Flame suit on!
Phooey. Internet hyperbole.
Bob, you and I put together our ultimate actual using hunting rifles. Jeff argues a theoretical concept.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
