Short mags are here to stay, like it or not. Can't say the same for the super shorts. The 7mm 300, 325, 270, all these are going to stick around. There's a whole new era of shooters coming up that will make their first rifle a short. If they do the same thing a long mag can with less recoil, why not. Don't knock em till you've tried them. People who we're shooting before shoet mags will never except them but the new generation of shooters will eat them up. If I ever get a 300, it will also be a short mag.
