I know I'm finding this post very late but , The 7 RUM is a Great Rifle , it cycles Very smoothly . It shoots like a laser at Long Range , too bad someone told you it wasn't going to be made any longer . Many pick on it because of many leaning towards .30 caliber rifles = the .300 RUM , but if you load the 7RUM with 175 grain A-Frame Bullets it will drop anything ! It's my go to Rifle !
