I may be wrong but to my notion the line of Short and super short magnums is just going to snow ball. I think every cartridge out there will have a short version before long. What bugs they have will be worked out and I see a bright future for them.
But then I would have bet the farm that clinton would not be elected twice let alone once. So as you can see, I have been wrong before. I will give a report on the new rifle as soon as the weather warms a little. Man its been cold in ND. Don't get me wrong I love the old 270 but I been there and done that and I have a 280 to fall back on.
