I have owned both long and short actions. 7mag and 257 Roberts. I still have the 257. My pard owned a 270 and a 284. He still has the 284. Neither of us liked the long actions. He slimmed the forend on the 270 and I tried it as I thought the shorter barrel might it seem less clunky. Not for me. We both owned short first. Bolt actions don’t seem that different from long to short except for Sako. I started with super short 17 rem then went to a 7 mag. It felt unwieldy.
UMMV, Fred
