With all these mag length limitations why is no one making extended actions and mags? Why no 3.25” coal short action mag setups or 4.25” long action. Even a 4” long action setup (action and magazine)
Id dimensions not od
So many cartridges are crippled with mag length issues

Maybe I’ve missed something

On the “short” action side: Defiance, Lone Peak, and now Zermatt do actions with max COAL around 3.2 inches. Alternatively use a Tikka or Savage Axis LA to max out around 3.5 inches (vs 4in of bolt throw).

An action/magazine that would do 4.25 with a standard mag boltface for the RUM’s world be cool.

Long SA is covered decently by tikka and a few custom actions including soon zermatt.
