I like my Whelen so much (Ruger #1) my pre 64 FWT M70 358 hasn't seen a deer season in quite a while. Both rifles thrive on the SGK 225
this Ruger #1 i had Jess Rebore do the rebore to a 35 Whelen shoots very nice will bear hunt with this Ruger #1 if i get drawn this year for a bear tag ? but will also be used some during the rifle 2024 deer season in Minnesota too . as GSPfan has posted there is something unique to use a 35 Whelen and chambered in a Ruger #1 is kinda special for some of us. i have also read the book and own this book called Mister Rifleman on Colonel Townsend Whelen the book is a very good read , Colonel Whelen in his life time has done some very interesting things . enjoy your 35 Whelen,Pete53
