Any .35 fans out there??

[Tom Krein]

I am a fan of the .35 caliber! I love my .35 Whelen Ruger bolt gun and my .358 Winchester Browning lever action.

I need to get a .35 Remington lever gun next!

So, any of you guys/gals .35 fans??

Well, I LOVE my 336 in .35 Remington! And I've recently aquired a Winchester 1905 in .35WSL. Opinion on that one is reserved until I fire it this weekend.

I took my first deer with a TC hunter in .35 from a tree (not a stand). It droped DRT. Wish I didn't have to sell it.

I've got a Savage 110 in 35 Whelen that I am working on. I just put a Zeiss on it

I shot my first deer with a .35 Whelen. It was a small doe and it literally flipped it over onto its back from 160 yards!!

I'm on a levergun kick, and a Marlin in .35 Remington is on my short list. Might go for a .30-30 first, though.

I'm also still toying with an idea that I'm tentatively calling the .358 Bubbavich: the 7.62x54R necked out to .35. From an objective cost-effectiveness point of view, this is completely bat<bleep> crazy considering that perfectly serviceable rifles are available in .358 Winchester and .35 Whelen. Still, I can't help thinking that an M44--complete with bayonet--chambered for that puppy would be the Truck Gun From Gehenna!

Or at least the only one on the block ...

Can't really say that I am a "fan," but I have a Remington 750 Woodsmaster carbine chambered in .35 Whelen that I won in a gun lottery last year. It shoots good. However, I don't hunt much right now and it's a little big for the deer around here. Not much option in factory ammunition as Remington seems to be the only one loading for it. I haven't had the time, and don't shoot it enough to justify reloading for it right now either. Having said that, it is fun to shoot and the new R-3 recoil pad soaks up recoil wonderfully.

Got an M-77MKII in 350 Rem Mag and a Model 70 converted to a 358 Norma Mag.
I don't currently have a Whelen, but was shopping for one when I ended up with the current 350 Rem Mag.
The 358 Norma is the perfect Alaskan cartidge for all around. Too bad it was never marketed properly.

I had owned a Marlin in .35Rem many years back. Nice shooter, not too hard on the shoulder, and a tiny bit more oomph! than the well-respected .30-30.

Sold it, though during a period of 'financial embarrarsement'...read as 'out of work-n-flat broke'

A friend bought a Remngton 660 in .350 Remington when they first came out. Great little rifle until you pulled the trigger. Blast and recoil were enough to stunt your growth.

 

[35Rem]

Oh yeah. 35 Remington all the way. Remington Model 8 and 141, and the Marlin in my stable. I am always looking for more, too!

 

[ADKWOODSMAN]

Love the 35's.
I have a Mod. 760 Rem. pump rechambered from .35 Rem to .358 Winchester.

Rem. Mod 700 Classic in .35 Whalen

.357 Herrett Super 14

21 inch .35 Rem. barrel for the Contneder Carbine

I also have a spare Mod 7 Rem. that will wear a .358 Win. barrel someday.

Just remembered a fellow I saw at a public shooting range a couple weekends before the Texas deer season opened.
Gray-haired guy comes up to the line on the 100-yd range and lays an ancient Savage 99 and a well-used Marlin 336 plus some ammo on the benchrest. Scopes on both rifles appeared to be Weaver K4s.
I didn't see what caliber the Savage was but noticed the Marlin ammo was .35 Remington.
The line goes hot and the guy shoots three shots - offhand - with the Savage and then looks through the spotting scope. He then puts the Savage down and shoots three shots - offhand - with the Marlin and again looks through the spotting scope.
With no more fuss he picks up his rifles and stuff and leaves.
I turned my spotting scope on his target and there were six bullet holes in about a 5" circle (or less) and about 1" above of dead center.

Whew!

I guess if you and your deer rifle both know what you're doing it don't take long to sight in.

My wife's Remington 141 pump in .35rem is her favorite rifle.

 

[researchdoc]

.35 lever here.... Marlin... is heck on the mule deer....
Love it.

 

[George Hill]

.35? Why yes, thank you.

 

[critter]

I have two .35 Whelen's built on M98 actions. Good deer medicine! I'd like to have the opportunity to try one of them on something bigger. Maybe some day.

 

[Vern Humphrey]

Bigfoot Wallace, my "heavy" rifle is a .35 Brown-Whelen (the most radical form of the Whelen) built on an '03 action by C.W. Fitch of Phoenix -- a man who knew how to build rifles. It still has the original barrel, reamed out, re-rifled and re-chambered.

I shoot a 225 grain Nosler Partition Jacket at an honest 2800 fps, and she will corner-to-corner an elk.

Yessir! LOVE my Marlin 336cs in .35 Rem. It was my first deer rifle and still my favorite. If memory serves, I've yet to lose a deer with it. It's taken a truckload!!

 

[Essex County]

Out of about a dozen Marlins, two in .35 Remongton were the best off the bench. I love the round. From time to time I weight a Yugo Mauser being rebarreled to .358 against a Social Security check. Still in torment.......Essex

 

[Flfiremedic]

35 Whelen will be my next purchase. To my way of thinking, under 300 yards you're good for anything in the world shy of true DG.

 

[SwampWolf]

My favorite whitetail deer/black bear rifle is my Savage 99 "Brush Gun", chambered in .358 Winchester, equipped with a Redfied "Widefield" 1.5X5scope, mounted with Weaver "Pivot" mounts. With 200 grain Silvertips, deer don't travel far.
