The economy dealt the final blow to just about all the short mags, boy you don't even hear of anyone buying one these days, I haven't even heard the word mentioned at all of our local sportsmens clubs..maybe everyone found out the in the end they didn't offer that much difference from the old standby 7mmRM and 300 WM...plus all the problems feeding that the little guys caused..I have a model 7 in 300 saum, I think it's the ultimate mountain rifle, short, fast, powerful and super accurate...

It's a shame, especially for the 7mmWSM. Other than Browning X-bolt's it's hard to even find a factory gun in 7mmWSM. If I wasn't worried about ammo not staying available, I'd have one. Last year, Winchester listed the 7WSM as available in their Model 70 Extreme Weather SS. I was never able to find one, or I would've bought it.
