[QUOTE="Buano, post: 483410, member: 21641"] What is popular among this list-serve is far different than what might be popular among the general population. The .338 RUM is popular among long-range hunters because of "the possibilities" — it can shoot flatter & harder than the .338 win mag & .340 Weatherby, and do so in relatively inexpensive rifles. This lets the long-range-fanatics (us) play with more possibilities. The general hunting public will likely never shoot a rifle more powerful than a 30-06, and probably never take game beyond 300 yards. For the general public, a .338 RUM is so grossly overpowered, they have no use for it. Since Remington is unlikely to sell a large number of rifles in .338 RUM, they are chambering few of their rifles in it. Sadly, Remington not offering more choices in .338 RUM keeps it from becoming accepted by more of the general public, which keeps demand low. [/QUOTE]
