The .35 Rem is very underrated.

I couldn't agree more on the .264 WM
Accurate, wind bucking, powerful, not too bad on recoil...

The .35 Rem is very underrated. I think it was always over rated. Had one for a few years and killed a bunch of deer with it. Never could see that it did a damn thing my .30-30 didn't do just as well or better.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

444 marlin, with proper bullets will take anything in north america That ain't saying much,every cartridge will take anything in North America. The 223 has taken every animal in North America, Asia, South America and Africa. Of those listed the 7X57 should get more respect and if I had the need for anything that in 375 I'd go with Ruger's version over the H&H version. The 35 Rem is the most OVERRATED cartridge followed closely by 30-30. The 30-30 in my experience out performs 35 Rem and the 30-30 had been obsolete 3 years before it was even introduced.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I actually think that the 30-06 is still under-rated by most hunters and shooters. It will do just about anything given a little reloading and willingness to use heavy bullets.

The .30-30 still isn't obsolete and won't be in you or your grandchildrens lifetimes. As long as traditional, tube fed lever action rifles live, {Marlin 336, Win' 94, Henry, Rossi, etc.} so shall the .30-30.

Talk about underrated...the 8x57js doesn't even get mentioned, never has really and that's a real shame. IMO one of the best and least respected out there.

I'd love to hear why the .30/30 was obsolete before it was even introduced and how it then went on to sell 10 million or so rifles.

Couldn't agree more with the article. And the 7x57 and .264 Win Mag are my two most favorite hunting rounds, by far.

Obsolete does not mean useless. The 7x57 and the 6.5x55 are of the same period. The 8x57 is only slightly younger. Which looks more like modern chamberings and ballistics? The 30-30 has been the blessed with two great handy rifles. Take them away and how well has it sold? It does not suck. But do not deny reality.
