Alright, alright, I had a looong day and probably wasn't thinking too clearly so I may have to retract such statements.

On the "experimental" statement, that was just in contrast of true field tried and tested years. In comparison, the 7mm-08 is a senior next to any WSM caliber.

As far as the "inferiority complex" I referred to, how many of you know or are guilty yourselves of buying something bigger, or trying to get something faster or newer, or better just to "out do" or "one up" the guy next door or the fellow you work with? If you say NO to any of these, you are a straight true blood liar! Sometimes you just have to "feel" like you are or have something better than a few others. Can you honestly say I am wrong?

And yes, I may have chosen a few challenging terms to voice an OPINION, sue me.

But let me ask you this...

Yes, the performance of the WSM's may better or equal to the output of their short action and long action cousins, and yes, the introduction of a new caliber can be fun and will more than likely sell more rifles, and yes, I believe they are probably going to be here a while, BUT.....Are they Necessary?

Just my point of view. If you wish to try and humiliate or chastize further, do so as you wish. Its just a point of view...
