    anyone that wants a short action really just wants a Blaser, but doesn't realise it yet

    How's that? All R93"s are extra long actions with length of pull only dictated by magazine.
    Or is wanting either equally bad?

    The Blaser has the shortest closed action of any bolt action, giving, with identical length barrels, the most compact rifle

    It's also faster than a traditional turnbolt which is the 2nd of the 4 most commonly cited reasons for wanting a short action

    It's heavier which is the opposite of the 3rd (short action is lighter!!), 4th is the fairly theoretical advantage in a hunting rifle of "stiffness"
