Ammo availability plays very little role in what rifles I buy... witness the Whelen, Creedmoor, .257 Weatherby, 6mm, and .300 H&H in my safe. I bought a 7-08, rather than a .260, simply because Remington doesn't offer an interesting rifle for it, Winchester doesn't offer anything in .260 at all, and I'm don't really like Savage bolt guns. I'm glad to see Savage offering some rifles, maybe it will spur some interest in the chambering.
