[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 681084, member: 43153"] UPDATE: I finally gave up on savage RUM, and went remington. I hope this doesn't make any savage fans mad, but I finally realized that going from small to large shank wasn't the complete story, anyways. It seems that the 1.12" large shank really didn't cut the mustard either. They also ditched on that one for RUM, after only a few years. The question again is why? If I heard correctly, rem goes 1.3" on the barrel shank. That's .24" over the SSS, as opposed to only .06" over, for the SLS. That's a factor of 4x - pretty significant, I would say. And THEY are still in the RUM game. But regardless, the bottom line is that I could not find find what I wanted in savage anyways. I guess it was the stock that I had already purchased for savage LA that kept me hanging on so long. Anyways, my stainless remington 7RUM should be here in a few days. I do plan on keeping my SSS 7mag though, and would still consider re-barreling/chambering it to what is available in standard shank. P. S. There IS 1 thing that I think remington just might be ditching on though. That would be the carbon steel (blued) barreled 7RUMs. I think the reason likely has to do with short barrel life. [/QUOTE]
