The action is a T3 tikka, it's chamber in the 25-06 right now which I have it shooting well. I was looking at ballistic's one day and look at the 7-08. I figure if I were to put it into long action I could reap the benifits of having the bullets seated out of the casing. And be able to add powder to make it an efficent hunting/bench rifle. I figure the action should work well for it.
