Rumors are rumors, facts are facts.
My original point, which I didn't make very well - the pump .357 Mag has been tried, at least once with the Action Arms/IMI Timberwolf - didn't seem to catch on very well. If I'm not mistaken there are a couple recent iterations of the Colt "LIGHTNING" pump rifle out there in that chambering also - those being very expensive - don't seem to be hot sellers. There's a ton of different lever actions in .357 Mag.
Bolt action is a NEW idea - kind of like the Spanish Destroyer concept. I, personally (but then what the hell do I know?), can't see a real purpose for it - other than for fairly close small game or small deer hunting.
