Hey guys, I was scratching down the various calibers chambered in, but discontinued by the modern NEF/H&R. Check and see if my list is correct.

7x57
7x64
35 Whelen
357
444 Marlin - Wasn't this available just a few years back?
260 - Am I dreaming? I could swear seeing this on their lists.

Yet to come out:

204
22-250

Are there more? Remember just in the modern era of NEF, not the old companies. Is the .410 combination pistol cartridge/shotgun bore still available? I seldom visit the NEF site now w/o the message board. Such a pitty. In my opinion, one might want to pick up the 38-55 or the 450 Marlin before they too are discontinued. Hope not, just a thinkin. I am also going to get the classic Hornet before time gets to it also. Not knocking any caliber, I just know the market and NEF. BuzzKill

i'm pretty sure they never made a 260rem (i sure wish they did). but every thing else sounds right.
