The first sentence in the original post seems to rule out Tikka to me
Incorrect, the LSA 55 and M 55 are short and light enough...and reasonably cheap.
Not familiar with those artifacts . . . are they true short actions?
Are they still fugly?
.
No they are a light 22.250 length with a short magazine...if you want a 222 length action with a Mauser extractor then you would do well to chase up a BSA hunter from the 50's.
