What is the hold up on the 7 RUM?
Browning and Sako jumped all over chambering the 300 RUM and Browning is also chambering the 338 RUM. How about the 7 RUM? What is the hold up? Seems like the 7RUM would be the hot seller?

Well--you certainly can't burn the powder of a stw in a 24" barrel. you can barely get it burned in a 26" barrel and now we should have a case with even more capacity?? The only advantage to a rum would be if they want to make a factory 27-29" tube. AND you never know--that would certainly be a niche but it would also be a big gamble. Hey, who would have thought those little chrysler pt cruisers would sell at full list price based on a Neon chasis?? The gun world seems to be going "fat" and "short" for now!!

Maybe it's time to find a good used long action gun and turn it into a rebarreling project for next year

You forgot the advantage of beltless. With all the nasayers of RUM, how in the world did they ever get the wildcat bullets to fly straight.
