A 3” action would be ideal. Given the choice of 2.8” vs 3.4”, I too prefer COAL flexibility of the latter. The extra space has no effect on smooth feeding, at least in this case. In fact, this is about the smoothest feeding bolt gun I have, regardless how the rounds are positioned in the mag.
Pretty amazing how similar these guns are. Ti stocks aren’t that common, especially BDL conversions.
