350 Rem mag, 35 Whelen or 375 Ruger...depending on which direction I plan to go out of camp in the morning.
Not to nit pick!!
What distinction is there for you between the 350RM & 35 W?
Guns themselves?
Bullets used?
? ?
Personal whim? I carry whatever gun I'm in the mood to hunt.
Just curious, no criticism.
I also have a real nice 358 Win that would also work just fine...just a 35 cal rifle loony, I guess.
No real rationale. My 350 Rem mag is a 22" bolt and I have it dialed in for 250 yards, so it's more for open meadows. My 375 Ruger is a 20" Alaskan and more of a timber gun. My 35 Whelen pump is a 22" and is a new acquisition...so I just want to use it. I have it set up w/ a red dot, so it will also be shorter range.
Seems most of the area I hunt is getting overgrown and any these rifles will work well. Of course, a guy has to have a backup rifle in case one gets dropped and boogered up. And I need another for my son, so 4 rifles go to camp.
And, of course, I have to develop a load for each rifle...what a burden.
