The few (3, I believe) SS M70 semi-customs, that have been posted in this thread all look like slick, great handling rifles - and are accurate and good-looking to boot. What's not to like?

" Looks like it will make a fine rifle for whoever purchased the components." well mr. "I'm going to take a position although I'm still unemployed.", just who did you think bought it? were you not so broke, I'd ask you to put your student loan $ where your mouth is. it's on its way and when it arrives, I'll post pics of it for your edification. you act more like 17 than 47, no wonder you had to try find a "guvenment" job. be waiting to see your "mythical" rifle someday...........

Lets see… I seem to remember a “So lets sum this up:” post from you in which you ridiculed and mocked me for my statements. You then continued to push the superiority of the 9.3x62 over the .35W in several subsequent posts, but despite this you then purchased a .35W while attempting to make me appear foolish for not watching the classifieds. You gave me a backhanded compliment, tempering it with your “hung-up on the .35W” comment, knowing I’d already addressed this question from you. I’d ask you; if someone carefully worded his comments in a way that was obviously designed to belittle you, as you did to me, would you find that person sincere and convincing? Just read your malicious comment, which I quoted above this post. Look at the manner in which you worded your juvenile and vindictive statement, then ask yourself who is acting like a 17 year-old. I don’t recall making any statements about a government job, being unemployed, or being broke, which is pure conjecture on your part and again, these comments of yours are vindictive and designed to belittle and ridicule. My university employs me. Maybe it didn’t occur to you that I have expenses, which take precedence over a new rifle at this point in my life. Maybe it didn’t occur to you that your comments are both highly inconsiderate and insulting and are a prime example of immaturity. I will acknowledge that you have made a few useful comments here and if you would like to continue in that vein, I’d welcome your input; otherwise, I’d respectfully ask you to go straight to hell.

As it always does, the truth will out.
You suckers will see the photos of the 35W IMP I bought right here.
You will never see High Noon's rifle as it will never exist.
watch and wait.

If I ever had to replace my Remington Classic 35 Whelen, I might think long and hard about a Stainless Howa 338-06. whelennut

Having no first-hand experience with either, I would be interested to hear the opinions of those that have used both. Is the main advantage increased velocity? I guess you could AI the Whelen for an additional 100-150 fps, which seem like it's hardly worth the effort.

Main good reason for the AI is reduced case stretching... increased case capacity is not even good for 100fps in most situations. It is slightly more efficient just because of the larger bullet base.

The animal will not know what it was killed with, even if it were shot with the lowly ol 30-06 and 200gr. partitions. There I fixed it. Yes, I totally agree. I'll admit, after owning a 9.3x62mm and the 30-06 all these years I'm back to the 30-06 and sent the 9.3 down the road. There's not a whole hell of a lot the 30-06 CAN'T do with the right bullets.. ...Let's face it, how much more penetration and knock down power do you need than the 30-06 with a 200gr. partition? That's where I'm at in this whole debacle...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

High Noon go for the 35 Whelen, I still miss the one I had and one of these days will do a pre 64 Model 70 in the cartridge.
JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

That's where I'm at in this whole debacle... If only there were such a thing as "knock down power." bsa & Sitka deer: While I agree with your statements, how does the arbitrary term ‘stopping power’ play into the equation? What I mean is how does the caliber and weight of the bullet affect ‘killing power’? I thought I understood how velocity, sectional density, cross sectional area and energy played a role in bringing down a tough animal, but your statements have me questioning what I thought I knew. I do understand how penetration and bullet construction play a role as well. So why then is the .375 H&H a minimum caliber for dangerous game in many African countries? Sure, dangerous game can effectively be stopped with smaller calibers and shot-placement is key, but what are the advantages (other than recoil, perhaps) of using a .30-06 over a .35W or 9.2x63 – or vice versa – for any reasonable comparison one could make? In the case of defending against a brown bear charge, would not a larger and ‘more powerful’ load be desirable? I personally have never been in such a situation, but I would think that in such a case that the 9.3x62 w/ a well-constructed 286 gr. Pill would be more effective than a .30-06 w/ a cup & core 200 grained bullet, and perhaps a 430 grained JFN in .45-70 would be better still at stopping a charge. Putting aside any preconceived notions, favoritism or arbitrary terms such as ‘killing power,’ my thinking is that penetration, along with shot placement are the most important factors in turning a charge or putting down a tough and/or enraged dangerous game animal. Of course, there are other intangibles such as field reports that state a particular caliber performed far in excess of what its ballistics would have indicated – should such reports be taken into consideration or discarded? So in this case, is the .30-06 just as effective as a larger caliber and if so why or why not?
