[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 674866, member: 48043"] I personally think there are a few reasons why the 7rum is failing. First, the 7rem is their baby and that's that. Second is the fact that the 7rum has a lot of recoil for a 7mm. Third, the 7rum needs a really long throat to keep from having pressure spikes, and re-loaders love to touch the lands for some reason; that will cause bad things to happen with the 7rum. Fourth, they are probably tired of people whining about short barrel life, but 600 rounds or so-- come on. Fifth, they had trouble with at least a few stainless barrels in 7rum having bad(over sized)chambers. I had one and fired rounds actually split two different sizing dies in two. Both a Redding and a Rcbs. The only time I've ever had to pull a warranty on a die. The thing shot like crap, but I should have re-barreled it myself instead of giving it back to the local store, as lh actions are tougher to find in full length stainless. There are probably profit reasons too, and other things I've missed. I think rem is realizing their mistake dropping the 7stw as they have sps rifles out in 7stw new if you look around online. I was thinking of ordering one before I found my lefty 7mmstw. [/QUOTE]
