7 SAW - Thoughts on this

[JPB4BAMA]

I have read what little I can find on this "new" cartridge. Thinking about it for a MR F-Class and wondering if anyone actually has one and what the thoughts are, both Pro's and Con's.
I'm not looking for alternatives, like the 284, or the 6.5's just any real world experience and thoughts on this one

Thanks for any feedback.

I've played all ends of this in my wild catting. A 7/08 AI would be
the better bet, but in general the SAW and AI are pretty much the
same with maybe the edge to the AI for case life.

You may as well shoot the 284 Win and learn to read the wind. All the variants of the 284
to me shoot about the same. just my2c

I've been shooting a 223 for the past several years in an effort to learn the wind skills, and I think that has worked as I've moved from 550's to low 580's. Not that the 284 is out of the question, but I like the fact that with the 308 based case I'll have a more consistent availability of brass since the whole world now wants to shoot the 284 and consumes all of the good stuff, not to mention a bit softer on the recoil, that as age takes its toll aint a bad thing either.

I run a 7 SAW for PRS and hunting. PM me and I can answer questions about it.

I totally understand this.
