The XL Action gives you the option of the .338 LM (as well as a 30 MOA Rail). Unless you think you'll build a .338LM or something else with a .590 bolt face in the future I would go with the 1086 (Long Action) as <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">RedDevil</span></span> and <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Wade</span></span> both suggested. Note that the 1086s' have 20 MOA Rails instead of 30 MOA Rails as on the 1581 XLs'.
