Upgrade Your Rifle with a High-Performance Action
It's only a matter of time before the serious precision shooter looks into upgrading their rifle's action. Smoother operation and increased accuracy are both appealing for every shooting situation — tactical, hunting, competition, and more.
The difference between long and short action is pretty subjective except for the size of the rifle cartridge — obviously, long actions use longer ammunition, but there's some debate as to how this affects accuracy especially when combined with other factors. One thing to remember is that short-action rifles tend to be shorter overall, which can make them easier to handle if that's your preference.
