I can see why they would keep the 270wsm because they are putting the magnum to it. Also it is short, light, and powerfull. I think the 7mm wsm would be a good rifle. It is flat shooting, light weight, and powerfull. I hope they keep it. If so I mightend up getting one depending on the popularity. The worse thing you can do is get a rifle then a few years down the road you needing to special order ammo off the internet.
