Thoughts?

I'm a bit surprised to see Savage launch this given how little interest there seems to be for the little Mach 2 round. First launched in 2004 on the heals of the much more successful 17 HMR, the smaller sibling just never took off like it's bigger brother. In fact, by 2006 most manufacturers had reduced the number of models it was offered in to just one or two as it just wasn't selling. Combine that with the fact that it's the last on the list for ammo production when demand peeks - as we saw post Sandy Hook.

To me the little Mach 2 is a lot like the 17 and 22 Hornet in that it has a small, cult-like following for die-hard fans who swear by it, while the rest of the shooting world just doesn't see the point in it.
