If you want actions that are too long for your own good, there are also, of course, the Savage 99, Ruger 96, and Marlin Levermatic.

The designs require pretty much the entire operating mechanism to be behind the magazine, which, in turn, requires an excessively long receiver to, among other things, guide and protect the bolt during cycling.So, why is are these three too long for our own good?
Extra length = excess weight in the action.
Overall weight is increased, and the balance point is shifted rearward.

Odd then that they're still making them.The 1894 line was shut down late 2012...

I WANT Marlin and Remington to come back strong. We shouldn’t be essentially rooting for their failure.
