you forgot the 264 win mag.

I think that all modern rifle actions suffer poor machining and finish and are overpriced relative to the quality of other machined items. Take bearings for example - beautiful self aligning paired roller races and perfectly matched tapered rollers, and they cost bugger all. Rifle actions are shit in comparison. The Mannlicher-Schoenauer M1903 is of the standard that all rifles should be at now imo. Barrels have got better but action design, finish and function are lagging. I dont expect this Rem to be any better finished

Rifle actions are, from a functional standpoint, glorified door latches.

So long as you can feed, fire and extract a case reliably, that is all you need. Add a good trigger and optics mounting solution (picatinny rail) and you are sorted.

Well there is one more possible up side to this one is if they do their short action to fit the PRC they will be at least 3 inches in mag lenght which would be a whole lot better than the 2.8 of the previous short action .
