I plan on building a .220 Swift this year. The cartridge is set, I have to scratch the itch. Plan to focus on 60-80gr bullets....especially looking at the 77gr TMK.

I plan to build this on a M700, duplicate a Remington sporter contour and stick it in a HS take off stock.

As the subject implies, I am wondering if I should stick with a short action or if I should go ahead and opt for a long action to allow for more COL latitude.

Who's BTDT?
