Default RE: Tikka rifles

He's saying that a long action receiver chambered in a short action round don't make all that much sense. The MFR makes just the one receiver, long action, no matter what it's chambered for. So you tote around extra steel, and have a longer bolt throw, just like you would if you were shooting say a 300 Win. Mag. (long action round), but you're actually shooting say a 300 WSM (short action round). Curious why they don't make a short action.
