You'd think they'd offer it in 7mm-08, 260, and maybe a short mag or two.

The M750 is already offered in a wide range of chamberings (5), particularly for a 'limited production' rifle.  The short mag cartridges are too large in diameter for the M750's action, and their high pressures might be too much for that old gas system.  Sales usually dictate the chamberings offered, so I assume that the 7-08, .260, etc. did not sell well in past iterations of this rifle.
