One low cost option you might consider is to find a good FN Mauser in 30-06 and have JES Reboring bore it to 35 Whelen. There are a lot of different suppliers who all used the FN Mauser actions for their rifles and can be found for not a lot of money. Rebore by JES will run you about $250. You'd have a good CRF 35 Whelen for not a lot of money. You might even find a Sedgley Springfield or Winchester 70 reasonable enough for the project.
Good advice. I’ll look into that.

That’s not what I wanted to hear! At 47 and divorced, I have too much experience with crazy/neurotic females - life’s too short to have to deal with raving lunatics. For that matter, life’s too short not to have a .35 Whelen!
