Thanks for your reply' s guys. As to the action type, i was considering short action. My father purchased a browning abolt in .300wsm and it seemed to fit well, the palm swell and thumb tang felt good and i could definately see how the 60 degree bolt throw could come in handy. The recoil didn' t seem too bad, definitly not as harsh as my 870 with 3 inchers. Since i' m a college kid i' m probably gonna go with the cheapest yet quality stock/barrel combination that i can find. I do an amount of sitting, but also my fair share of walking, so weight and manuverability would be a concern.
Also, i' m going in for arthoscopic surgery today, so there is a possibilty that i may miss this season and have a whole nother year to decide my mind.
thanks again
