Interesting brass. Rimless with a rim, real thick walls, sharp shoulder, looks a bit like a short magnum.

It was suggested to them before, still hasn't happened, My H&R guy thought it was a great idea, Remington didn't agree.  :'(

One of them with a thumb-hole lam. stock hit the shelf, and I'd be all over that in a heartbeat!  Perfect companion to my Marlin.   DP

Tim Looney had it right.  They ought to pack off the rest of these "marketing" guys to China to sell obsolete SKSs and tea.

They're going totally backwards.  The 7.62x39, 7x57 and the .45LC Carbine are  good examples, all extremely popular.  Instead of fixing the '39, they discontinued it.  The Russians and Chinese made massed produced 7.62x39s that fired reliably.  We can't ??? ???  Why they've dropped the 7x57 and the .45 is anybody's question.
It all goes back to being "et up with the Yankee dumbass"  (thanks, Rocky, wherever you are).
