[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1515327, member: 12995"] Dude, I was selling guns when all that short-action magnum stuff went down... It was dead before it every hit the market. All of them were. Folks would come in and ask what it was, we'd tell them it was just a short-action version of the regular magnums, and they would still rather buy the regular magnums. If it wasn't for niche' shooters and wildcatters, the SAUM would have LONG gone the way of the Dodo bird. The WSM beat the SAUM in the SA Magnum wars, but it never really caught much traction until the last 8-10 years or so. Not hard to comprehend what things REALLY are...At least, it used not to be for folks. Just because something works and works well, doesn't mean that it wasn't a huge marketing push to get you to buy one and buy into the hype. If they got your money, that's all they were after. Spreading the word, and raking in the cash and notoriety. [/QUOTE]
