It’s a half inch. *shrug*



Of length of action.
Travel is blocked so stroke is same as short action.
If seating length becomes an issue, travel is easily lengthed.
The rifles are already lighter than some short actions,
And stiff as heck.

The only drawback is literally 1/2" overall, and the idea that you can bitch about it.

I aint bitchin as I could care less, I am a CRF guy anyway...sounds like your the one thats "butt hurt" about it and tryin to justify a long action rifle chambered in a short action cartridge....😁....Hb
