Did you rever buy a rifle that soon after you bought it, was dropped from produce because of a lack of sales.. I've had it happen twice in the last 52 years... And the best part, I thought that they were two of the best rifles and cartridges I ever owned.. The first, many moons ago was a Remington 700 BDL in 8mm Remington Magnum, GOD I loved that cartridge, it seems like it would kill every thing I ever shot with it and nothing ever made a singel step...big game hunters screemed about bullet construction on elk, but they were perfect for deer..it was and is a great cartridge...it's one of those if you only had to have one, this would be it.... The other one, is the Remington model 7 stainless synthetic in .300 SAUM.. I love this little rifle more than just about any other I own, it never caught on and is no longer manufactured in the synthetic version..it is an awesome cartridge..just about the same thing as the WSM's..I think it's even more accurate myself personally..it's light weight, easy to point and is just sweet...they sat on the shelf, no one even wanted to look at em'...BIG GREEN has almost dropped it entirerly from their product line and has replaced it with the WSM's...both are great rifles, great cartridges that never made it..my own son won't even take either out of the gun cabinet..I'm speechless as to why... WELL, did it ever happen to you, you loved it and everyone else hated it... LET's hear about it !!

most likely to many rounds in the same ballpark. there are a lot of rounds like it that will do the same thing and some never seem to take off. i thought the model 7 was still made only now it's the xcr camo?
