[QUOTE="MarkA, post: 1164119, member: 5220"] I had one, well still do, first generation Savage that was released prior to the hold on the 7WSM. The hold on the 7 was due to being able to close the bolt on interchangeably on the first Saami 270wsm and 7wsm ammo. At that time the base to start of shoulder dimension was the same on the 270, 7mm and 300wsm's at 1.664" ( and now the 325wsm as well) which was going to be extremely dangerous for the 270 and 7mm. My first generation gun was put on hold at Savage and took over a year then to get the gun because the chamber was "revised" on the 7wsm to a dimension of 1.702" from base to shoulder so you could not close the bolt on a 270wsm rifle if you stuck in a 7wsm round it!! This made the 7WSM very late to market in comparison to the 270WSM or we would be having the discussion is the 270WSM dead instead! [/QUOTE]
