Reply With QuoteShort actions are a bit stiffer and most of the best and serious modern target rounds fit into a short action so I don't think Savage believes there is any significant market for a long action in target form.
I have been hoping that Savage would eventually offer their Target Action in a long version, but have never heard anything to suggest that it would happen. Surely they see the success of the Target Action and hopefully I am not the only person on the planet that would love to have one in a long action version.

I wish they would. Would capture the big cartridge market with a large shank, long action, repeater OR single shot, stainless action.
Don't get your hopes up. I'm still waiting for a LH short action.

+1 for me, I would like one, especially if it had a HS stock.
Savage does not offer a long action, large shank, heavy barrel with a HS stock.
I would like to see a Weather Warrior (stainless steel) built on a long, large shank, target action with a detachable magazine, HS stock, and a varmint profile barrel or a 30 inch bull barrel would be great also.
Offered in the classics, like 25-06, .270, 30-06 and also 7Mag, 300 Win Mag, 7 RUM, and 300 RUM.
Is that too much?;D
I would think not! At least not for me :)
You got my vote! I'd like to see a large shank long target action too. I'd also like to see a single shot and repeater. Just personal because I know they haven't had any trouble with the standard shank but I like the large shank better for the magnums. I just like the little bit of extra steel around the chamber. That's why I had my long action converted to the large shank and I love it! I tried to find a large shank ultra mag action but didn't have much luck so I just sent mine off to Jim See at Center Shot Rifles and had him convert mine for me. I have another one in my safe that I'm going to send to him as soon as I have a chance to have it converted to large shank too. Some people still use calibers like the 300 win mag for long range shooting and it works better with a long action. It will work single shot in a short action but to remove a live round you have to remove the bolt which can be kind of a pain.
+1000 for me, think of all the 338 edge's that would be built on a LA target action.
i think the closes thing is a old rum action getting hard to find or the new BA 110 if they would have offer the BA action only i would be happy
neither of these is a "target" action due to they are usually single shot the the target trigger and 3 screw action but the new BA action i think would be a great action to start with if savage would start selling them i dont think it would that hard due to its less work for them to sell just action they already make but they probly make more money on the rifles but i guess they make enough money the short targets to start making them in different ports seems like a simply step to me just to sell a few BA and see how it goes
