You never know how things will turn out.In my safe are two rifles in 25-06 and one in .257 Weatherby.I could not tell you why I had them.Now my daughter has taken up shooting and choose the Rem.700.Now I have the Tikka T3 in 25-06 and the .257.Im thinking the grandson gets the Tikka.It is all coming together nicely.Now if I just knew what the others were for. Thinking about picking one up. When I bought my .300 WSM it was a toss up between it and the 7mm.
I never really fell in love with the .300 so I gave it to my dad.
I've been reading a lot of great reviews on the EW,so I looked at the Winchester site and see they're offing it in 7WSM.
The 7WSM won't do anything that a rifle already in my safe won't do. Thats the only thing holding me back.

Don't lose hope in an Extreme Weather in 7mm WSM. I just picked up a Stainless Featherweight in 7mm-08. It's been listed as a "Shot Show Special" on Winchester's web page since 2010.
FWIW, I have a NH Featherweight 7mm WSM. It's my favorite Model 70 out of the six I own. Best of the short mags.

I love the 7 Wissum, I have the new EW in 7mm-08. I'm afraid the 7WSM might kick a bit???

I am also in the market for the EW 7mmwsm. Interested in anyone who has located one letting the rest of us know.

Bear,
The problem is, he CAN'T just go and get it. Winchester hasn't put them out on the street yet... Ooops! Didn't know that. Just responding to the OP's first statement. Bear in Fairbanks

If I were smart enough, which apparently I'm not
