I really have a feeling the 17 WSM is going to be a flop if someone besides Savage doesn't get some guns out there chambered in it. Honestly I don't see that happening as I have a feeling most manufacturers are going to wait and see if it takes off or not before dedicating the hundreds of thousands of dollars to R&D and product an all new firearm design capable of utilizing the unique new cartridge. And since Savage went so low-end with their B-Mag I just see and hear too many people passing it over due to it's chinsy-ness.
The Browning/Winchester Low Wall has an MSRP of over $1,200 and it's a single-shot - the only people likely to buy one are the Winchester collectors who will just mothball them.
