High Noon, you shuda been watching the classified here.
just bought an FN actioned 35 Whelen with a fantastic figured stock for less than a very basic 700.
it was a great deal, wish it had been a 9.3x62 but too good to pass up.
you've been an excellent poster and I only have one question left. Why are you so hung up on the whelen when the 9.3 is superior by any measure ?
good luck !
Pictures?
I also asked for photos of this (mythical?) .35 Whelen.
AHH, ye of little faith. Actually a 35W IMP. Stock looks like it's off/for a BSA as the cheekpieck and buttplate are exactly like my BSA 222.(also bought here from another outstanding member!)
