I've put together more then one rifle just becuse I wanted something diffrent to play with, even though I knew going in that I wasnt going to build something (better), just something diffrent to play with. It sounds like a fun project.

I kinda figure like any hobby people build new and different guns because it is enjoyable to them.  Same reason they own more than one gun or one caliber because they can  ;)

What would be the advantage over a 7 WSM?

No real ballistic advantage at all. I supose that it would be more effecient, but it wouldn't come close to matching 7 WSM performance. It would have the super short action though, so you could save .5" over a standard short action.

I agree that this would just be a fun project to play with. Sometimes a guy can get bored with the same old cartridges. If I had the ability to do it I would love to try out a project like this.

Oh, I don't knock building any gun as any sort of fun project. As a different look.. I love the look of an airbagged slammed mid 70's Chev pickup truck, but they are utterly useless as a truck anymore once a guy does that. Still, people enjoy that sort of project. For a rifle, I guess I think a bit more practicle or functionally superior to something else that's available.
