Couldn't help but notice on some other forums that every one bleats on about short actions so a question for you guys that have been keeping upto date with anything firearm related over the years.
In what year did having a short action become then "in" thing?
anyone that wants a short action really just wants a Blaser, but doesn't realise it yet
If you weigh them both mate the difference is bugger all, big is good:)
And as two when? Some dick in a magazine said it was cool:)
still in the closet haha!Quote:

Would 2000 be close?
How's that? All R93"s are extra long actions with length of pull only dictated by magazine.Quote:

Never been a follower of fashion or yearned for the latest "In" thing Toby.
In fact the least fashionable an item becomes the more interested I get.
That said I don't believe short actions have ever been described as the latest need to have "In" thing but I could be wrong.
Cheers

It's also faster than a traditional turnbolt which is the 2nd of the 4 most commonly cited reasons for wanting a short action
It's heavier which is the opposite of the 3rd (short action is lighter!!), 4th is the fairly theoretical advantage in a hunting rifle of "stiffness"
I should buy one!! Ha Ha

Can mix an match optics if you have to.
Guns safe is never cluttered.
Never had a drama starting any projectile choice at the lands.
All for around 7K.
What would 4 Tikkas or remmys cost with dedicated optics?

Sounds to complicated for me I'm a simple bitch:D:ORLY::cool:
On top of which, you would own four Tikka's or Remington's. The horror!!!
Why would you buy 3 or 4 of them in the first place :DQuote:

Nope don't own anything made in the USA, and only one Sako, never a Tikka or Remmington , they make electric razors don't they?:wtfsmilie:Quote:

Only if it was fitted to a longer action and rechambered to something with better ballistics than a short range mortar :) :)Quote:

And he have a short action and performance to go with it?:thumbsup:Quote:

You don't know what you are missing out on then :thumbsup:Quote:
