Get the long action!
My 6mm Rem. is built on a short action but I bought a custom reamer with a very short throat to shoot the lighter varmint weight bullets. I can use the short action mag b/c of the short throat. I had an A&B barrel for a while but it was throated long enough that I could only use short varmint bullets seated towards the rifling. 70g Noslers seated at about .020" off the lands wouldn't fit in the mag.
If you're wanting to shoot the heavier (especially the long VLD style) bullets, definitely go with a long action.
