Hi SCGunNut,

Just a question: are you sure 338ME is RIP? The french importer got a small batch of 60 336XLR in 338ME. I must test one for a magazine hi write in and the distributor is not clear if they are the last or if they will be other batch.

As i don't want to fool readers i'm looking for all infos about.
Same about 444 which was always a best seller in France for driven hunt. We got a batch too but would like to know better.

For some years Remington made for our market 7400 and 7600 in 35 Whelen but they were not offered, at that time, on your market in US of A and were not on the Rem catalog.
Maybe they prepare the same thing with 444.

Your help or other campers well appreciated. Will try to contact Marlin but i have not a lot of hope they answer me now...

Dom
