It is all true. I am building a 9.3x62 on a Mauser because there are things not right on the 35 Whelen shown in the photos. No possible rationale--just because.
Damn straight there's something wrong with that 35 whelen. For 1 it's not a 9.3x62 and for another the bolt is on the wrong side. Man, how do you work that thing that way?????
