In my case a short action is a big deal because my whole purpose of buying another Nula was to get the original ultra light rifle Melvin Forbes was famous for designing. So far all of my shots on big game have been under 600yds so that set the parameters for my range requirement of this particular rifle. Having a 308 and a 243 already, I was first thinking 7-08, but having a 280rem and a couple 280ai's I figured the 284 caliber was already taken care of. So I decided on a 6.5, then after weighing in all the pros and cons I went with the Creedmoor.
