The short neck.

Short neck may be an issue. But the .300 Win Mag has done pretty well for a long time with a short neck.

The 6.5 Pro does look good. May have considered it if cases were being made. Anyway, already built a 26 Nosler on a 700 BDL 7RM.

Here are some photos showing the Z3 4-12x50 BT, trajectory marked with a Sharpie, for 120 E-tips at 3,450 fps. This gun will shoot them nearly half MOA at 400 yds.

Should be good hog and WT medicine.

The 7RM box mag had to be replaced with an Ultra Mag box, here in SS with "windows", for three rounds down.

Notice how I cut the underside of the bolt knob to prevent sharp checkering from bumping my trigger finger. Only thing on the bottom side of this bolt knob is smooth, tapered steel, polished and blued.

26 not a kicker per se, but does "jab" a bit, not too unlike a 7RM.
