It is BS to taslk about, a stick for haters to beat a dead horse with.

They use a bolt stop to shorten the stroke, (so working the action
is the same)

the action is lighter than several true short actions,

very well known for smooth operation, slop is unremarkable
either loose or tight.

in theory, it might(probably does) flex more than it would if
they had a short action. But $600 Tikkas take no back seat
to many short actions in accuracy, look at the cuts in the action,
They are as stiff as a geek dancing with the prom queen.
