Lou M, I only have 2 30-30's and 2 35's. I do prefer the 35 remington. When I lived in Alaska and was traveling through Canada, with the number of bears they have that you can run into out camping, I prefer the extra weight of the 35. In answer to your question. I like lever guns and also have a nice 45-70, 44 Mag, 45 Colt, etc. In Alaska the 45-70 mostly got the call. Besides that I grab the 35, when it comes to a lever gun.
