Savage wouldn't spend the money to make 6.8's if the cartridge was truly dying.

Barnes now offers factory ammo, ADG makes good brass, and now Savage makes rifles.

It doesn't have the Hornady marketing machine behind it, but it is not dying.

And some pretty nice lefty options to boot. Looks like they improved some things on the bolt as well. It will be interesting to see if Browning finally offers lefty 6.8 Western rifles this year.

They are pretty heavy. 7BC in 16.5" is 7.5lbs. Lightest one ive seen is 7.2lbs. Have to go to the UL carbon barrel ones to get under 7#
