Damn, that is a nice looking rifle. I have no need for such a thumper outside of black bear but that rig makes one hell of an argument for one.

Nice to see so many CF members who use the .350...
My first .350 was a Remington 700 Classic followed by a very nice 600. A few years later a customized Ruger stainless 77MKII with the barrel cut back to 18.25" and open sights added.
Bob I like the looks of that rifle. I've had 350's in Remington 673's and Mk II's and like the Mk II's best. We got a moose in Alaska with one. Hard to justify with a few 30-06's, 338's, and a 375 H&H but I like the caliber, I just have trouble shooting all the others I have. Still I'd love to run into a Ruger at a descent price, I'd have to add sights myself. Never heard of a Ruger 350 who wouldn't shoot. Both of mine shot well.

It is the 270 of the "other" world....
Shame. It is perfect. Combined a 270 and 350 can really hammer the world.
Mine went 278 and dropped a 916 dressed 60" moose. Saw daylight in a whitetail both ends while running. 225 tsx at 2700. Sick..
Its an answer to a question no one asks.

Because of a shoulder operation two weeks ago I can't hunt with the .350 this year...
Anyone have success with theirs so far this season?

Awhile back another gunhead that I know sold a NIB Ruger 77 in 350RM for a very high price. It was one of the early ones from the late 60s or early 70s if I remember correctly.

Sooner or later our heritage of hunting is going to be a rich mans sport and the words "Outfitter" and "Hunt Industry" will be synonymous with cancer and A.I.D.S. among blue collar hunters like me and my family! (A.L. Williams - 2010)

Just beautiful...
The problem with owning that rifle is that it is so perfect you would have no excuse to own anything else as far as a big game gun goes...

After sighting in the Ruger .350 Rem Mag., it was shooting so well (perfect cloverleaf all touching 1.5 inches high @ 100 yds.) that I decided to use it for the opener instead of the .357 Mag Winchester trapper. Shot this one yesterday morning (Our rifle opener). No big trophy by any means, but a nice deer that went about 160 or 170 pounds. ![[Linked Image]](http://pic90.picturetrail.com/VOL2250/777751/24585826/412952588.jpg) 50 yard shot in pretty heavy woods, I had to squeeze one through the only opening I had, after watching him browse for 15 minutes. ![[Linked Image]](http://pic90.picturetrail.com/VOL2250/777751/24585826/412952623.jpg) It was a quartering away liver/lung shot that dropped him in his tracks. Kicked for 10 seconds, then died. Load was Speer 180 grain, with a handful of 4064 to get it going well over 2800 fps. Now the Winchester .357 trapper will be for a couple of does. I seen 2 bucks and 7 does yesterday.

Nice! Blue tape??? LOL... We were suppose to get rain/snow, and 30 mph winds today and yesterday. I hate seeing snow filled barrels  I was lucky it held off 'till I was on my way home... At least it wasn't blue tape on my .270 !!

My big mistake was I did not buy one. About 4 years ago the local fun store had a Hawkeye Stainless on sale for $399. Why I did not buy that I still do not know today. probably because I was dickering on a Parker 16 gauge LOL

I have a two Remington 673's one in 6.5 and one in .350 Mag. The .350 is one of the most accurate bolt actions I own. All that was done to it was lighten the trigger. Far outshoots the 6.5. Quite a thumper too.

I think they do that just to mess with your head. My 700 Classic will shoot 100yd 3 shot cloverleafs if I do my part. Who really needs a half moa 350? It's great, but it's not really a 500 yd cartridge or the ideal target rifle!
