Reasoning is I prefer a shorter action because if lighter weight.


Tikka doesnt make a short action, they use one action for short/long action calibers and another for magnum calibers.

How do they do that?

There obviously is a difference in cartridge shoulder height. Do they intentionally set the magazine well farther back from the barrel cone on the traditionally short bolt rounds so they don't have to use different length bolts?

That would seem to create unneeded and excessive travel of the round in the chamber in the process of seating it prior to the bolt closing.
