I guess anything could be the same or better or flater or sub moa ..but its not a .35 rem light recoil big thump 150 yd deer slayer....I guess if we said 35 vs 30-30 its just about a 50-50. Argument...I've already run them rabbits.....so if it came to 308? Vs 35 rem in bolt action would you say its 308 just hands down or could. 35 rem still fill its own niche..
 
The 308 is better in every way except recoil. The point of the .35 is in short light guns. There isn't a big demand for the .35 with so many more effective modern rounds to use the longer stronger bolt action.
 
I have a 21" for the Contender carbine and with 180 gr. Hornady SSP's it it one wicked deadly whitetail rifle.Recoil can be stout for some,it only weighs a lil over 5 lbs,but it's a handy package,and good out to 200 yards or better.Nothing wrong for the caliber,but if I were doing a bolt gun,I'd go for the .358 Win instead.
 
Yeah prolly the .358 is the way to go in a bolt gun. Easy to make cases. little more umph, still short and sweet.
 
35 rem is perfect for its intended purpose. 200 grain light recoil brush style gun..however in bolt form it could still run against a 308 all day long were talking about DEER KILLIN....not Paper Punching and 100 + yard shots through brush are done with 180 + grain bullets I hunt in river swamps and thickets or cut overs not 3000 yard food plots and fields or I might hunt with 50 bmg or a 338 lapua..35 rem is justfine with me... seems like some calibers get pushed aside for no reason 270 used to be an elk/ big game cartridge but most people would say anything less than a 300 win mag is inadequate ...ever animal in this
World has been beaten clubbed or shot with a stick.
 
Dont get me wrong i love the 35 rem and have 3. All levers though. I just cant see why a bolt gun chambered for it. It has no advantage over a lever and is slower for brush hunting the round is most used for. If im going to do a bolt .35 its would be a 358 350mag or 35 whelen. Anyone one of them can be loaded down to 35 rem ballistics if you want to play at that level.
 
I like the 358 win great option l would like to get something similar to my sons CZ 527 7.62x39 light handy brush gun ..357 ruger sounds good...wish there was a 357 super mag carbine
 
Good choice. Nothing like an M1917 action. There is also a cheaper and handier option, but I shan't mention it for fear of being flamed.:)
 
The 6.8mm cartridge should have same case dimensions except for the neck of course.

35 Remington loaded (safely) with Speer 180 grain bullet replicates 300 Savage ballistics out to 200 yards. That's what I shoot in my Marlin 336-A rifle. Hits hard, too!

6.8 is based off the .25,.30,and.32 case. Whole 'nother animal, longer case and smaller head diameter.
