Ya reckon they’ll offer it in 7mm?

Yes. But only if the 6.5 takes off.

And the 6.5 will only take off if they put it in the Vanguard.

Otherwise it’s DOA.


Edited to add: If Remington put it in the 700 it would get a big boost too.

Vanguard would be a nice touch. They face a real marketing challenge with Hornady’s great ammo at a good price.

We’ll see if Wby can provide the “whole package” at a competitive price.

I wish them well.
