Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Barrel Length for .35 Whelen?

You won't gain anything from a 24" barrel except extra weight. I prefer a 22" for the Whelen.

I have a 700 classic and it is fairly light as is. If you put one in McMillan "edge" remington classic stock, it would certainly be in the 7 to 7.5 lb. range.
