Will AI AT develop magnum caliber versions?

Now AT only has .308 Class calibers.

Will AI develop magnum versions, such as WSM version?

AT has to rolls of locking lugs, kind of similar to AWSM. So I am wondering if AT will have magnum version in the future. And WSM has the same chamber length as .308, I think there might be possibility that AT can have WSM calibers in the future.

I saw an AE in 7mm WSM picture. But I never saw any WSM version AE on the market. Someone said that 7mm WSM was just a testing model. That makes me even more curious about AT.

Anybody heard any internal news from AI?

Thank you guys, I read the long post and found that AI will probably have 300wm AT. But that is long action.

But no mention of 300wsm.

Probably because that wsm is not used outside US?

AI told me no plans on short action mag bolts when I inquired about the AX

Ya they've been saying that forever. If you want into that game you've got to buy the MC.

If they made an AT with a magnum bolt face I would buy one. But I am not holding my breath, just saving my pennies for an AX 338mc.

I think even they make magnum or wsm calibers, it is still not be able to be compatible with 308.

So that should not hurt AT308 or AXMC

But I really want to see AT in wsm that is able to be converted to 308 family.

Maybe that is just a dream.

probably because short magnum calibers are not being used in Europe.

The 7 WSM is quite popular in Europe, especially where F class exists, so is the SAUM, and the 300 wsm sees some use.
Don't know where you guys get your info from.
As for AI in EUrope there are more limited options for the rifles, Sportingservices is the main civilian distributor.
Although they have theyre own AI action target rifle, and a AE hunter model.
