I definitely prefer the short action.

I prefer the pistol grip.

I like take downs.

If you shoot more than 300 yards , or are recoil sensitive I would lean towards a 308.
Or the other smaller bores.

If you hunt in close quarters and are in a ricochet sensitive area I would lean towards a bigger slower ordinant. Like the 358, 450 marlin.

If you don’t mind long actions …..we’ll you got a lot more options!

Trigger work will be your friend!

Best of luck happy new year!
