It is a Short action. I did not even look at reviews I went by feel. The bolt is so smooth you can close and lock bolt with the tip of the thumb. the stock has the perfect feel in the hands, its bedded and free floating.

The Americans in short action chamberings are on short action receivers.  Unlike some of the other budget rifles which are all built on the same long action.

I currently have a 30.06, 7mm mag and 300 weatherby mag so I guess the .270 is out.


Given what you already have the .243 adds the most versatility.

The American 243s come with 1/9" twist barrels.  Which will let you do ~100 grain bullets.

How far you can shoot depends more on what you want the bullet to do when it reaches the target.

Punching hole in paper or ringing steel, you can basically shoot as far as you can see.

The big limitation being how much elevation you can add to the optic.

If I had to choose one, it would be the .270. You can drive 75 grain bullets to high velocity or load deeper penetrating 150s--and everything in between.
