Man I wouldn't part with your little 300saum model 7. The WSM has no gain over the saum in my opinion. You have a great combo with your Model 7 in that caliber. I am also a huge model 7 junkie
Just my 2 cents

SAUM - WSM: same - same I've had both, shot things with both - a 180 Partition at 2950 kills things really dead. It doesn't matter if it says SAUM or WSM on the casehead. BUT you need a WSM XCR.....

If Remington would just reintroduce the Model 7 XCR again in either stainless or black Trinyte, slam 300WSM in that again and then you will have a rifle!!
What is wrong with Remington's marketing department? Wouldn't they produce something that people want and max their profits? I'm a lucky one that has an original. Would deffinately buy another.

Shoot the shizz out of the SAUM. When the tube is toast, re-bbl to 300 WSM Life is good and shooting is the bonus

Like I said in the other post.. Slap that 7 in a McEdge and you'll forget all about the XCR.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Agreed, especially if they'd put it in a 7mm too. The Seven XCR was an outstanding iteration for the average guy wanting a great light hunting rifle, especially when dropped into a decent stock.

Stick with the saum, the wsm belongs in the model 70 anyways...  .
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

SAUM is very good; But if you rather use XCRIIs you better get another. Both SAUM and WSM are nice.
You already have a 300 and a 338 covered so I'd opt for a 7mm......
