How much longer do you give the Remington SAUMs?
« on: October 14, 2006, 04:08:42 PM »
Just curious as to what the other Remington aficionados here think about the future of Remington's Short Action Ultra Mags. I don't see them hanging on much longer. They never developed a real following and being beat right out of the starting gate by Winchester's WSM cartridges didn't help matters.
I originally thought that if one of them might make it, it would be the 7mm SAUM since Remington has almost always scored a "hit" with anything they brought to market in the 7mm designation. But now the whole line appears to be headed for oblivion. A local gunshop has a new blue/laminate Model Seven on the shelf in 7mm SAUM, that they just keep marking down. Seems to get fewer looks than a 1986 Yugo on a used car lot!
What do you'll think? ???

Nothing like getting a rifle on the cheap---if you buy it---just be aware you might have to take up handloading in the future to keep it fed.

I know armalight has the 300 SAUM, but not many guys like dropping 2 grand on a rifle either.  They'll probably stick around, but they'll be hard to find.

I don't have one and don't want one, But I don't think they are gonna leave us anytime soon.

Some people have them and like them.
