Thanks for the info steelhead, exactly the info I want. Thanks bud.
Wrangler, thats a nice one.
I really like my tikka.
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

I really like my tikka. I already told you what I would do and so did the guy doing it. Apparently you are one that needs 100 people telling you that everything is OK. LUCK

Got my stainless Whelen rifle back from JES and sighted it in today. Got 3-shot 100 yd groups around an inch and a quarter with windy conditions. I'll be shooting it some more when I get a better day.
It's already good enough for the baited bears of New Brunswick.

I'd like to pick up a stainless 35 Whelen without having to get a 2nd mortgage. My options appear to be-
1. Get a 35 Whelen barrel for my TC Encore. Downside is that the Encore stock design is uncomfortable for me to shoot with 30-06 recoil, not to mention .35 Whelen recoil.
2. Second option is an ER Shaw stainless barrel kit for my .270 Stevens 200.
3. Third option is to send my .270 M700 ADL-SS to be rebored to .35 Whelen.
Yes, I know Ruger made some stainless M77 Hawkeyes, but I'd have to find one, and expect it would cost more any one of my 3 choices.
This would be for hunting black bear over bait. I've had good experience with a M700 classic .35 Whelen and 225 gr Accubonds on bears.
Any options I'm missing?

Saw that Bud's listing, but there's something wonky with the UPC and model numbers, says wood in the description too. The Hawkeye SS Whelen is Ruger Model Number 17119, I think... I have one and foolishly toyed with selling. ![[Linked Image]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wiKIfp9xAZQ/VefOYUR_d5I/AAAAAAAAGho/clhM1UGqRSIglvtY8QH84KNgBewVfmVtwCCo/s600/P1010007.jpg) I'd like to pick up a stainless 35 Whelen without having to get a 2nd mortgage.
