SHHUUUUSHHHHHH !!!! LOL  Your strategy is showing.  I have both a .358 and a 35 Whelen – if you want to take me with you, you can use one of them. LOL You'll likely have trouble finding either in SS unless someone is willing to sell a custom. (though I think Ruger offered a .358 in SS at one point) Shane offered to let me use his 358 one time, but we never got to the fine print.😉. Thanks Shane. I picked up a 358 in Savage 99 when Iowa in their erudite ways redid the reg’s. One, because I’m a lefty, and two, I’ve never had a 358 Win or a 99 before. I like the cartridge and the rifle. This is just my opinion, but in having 2 350’s in the past; a 35 Whelen and an AI’d one, I’d just suggest they’re all a bit stout for whitetails. Not that they are not good cartridges; they are. I’d suggest the 358 which is no weak sister. If the Indian is good, it is a three hundred yard arrow. And brass as with the Whelen is easy.

The easiest path to what you want is just buy a stainless rifle you like and send it Jess to be rebored to .358 win or 35 whelen. Cost is $300 and every one I have had done shoots great.

I had JES do a Ruger 243 to 358. Easy button and more accurate than it was as a 243.
Yup.

JES did a .356 Marlin and a .35 Whelen Tikka.
Both shoot as good (tikka) or better (marlin) than before

I had JES rebore a 700 for me. For some reason i thought i recall reading that he wont (or can’t) do stainless, but could be wrong.

He did a stainless one for me around 5-6 years ago. It was a bit more money, but still worked just fine.
May have him to another.

I have a stainless rem 700 receiver with a 35 whelen remage barrel on it with a vias muzzle break, and a timney trigger which I might be willing to part with. I have been going back and forth on whether to sell it or not. I also have dies, brass, and some bullets. PM me if you are interested.

I have a push feed model 70 stainless in .270 and a benchmark .358 Barrel (I think 1:12 but can verify) sitting here. Not cheap but I could ship it straight to your gunsmith and you will have a top quality stainless setup pretty quick.
PM me if interested.

I've been gone for a few days and just saw this post...
I've got a Remington 700 ADL, 35 Whelen, Stainless Steel, trued action, Lilja #4 (23" from lug to crown), McMillan Stock (standard fill, dark grey), matte black cerakote. Leuopold VX2 (2-7x33 w/turret). Excellent condition. PM for pics if you're interested. And, it's a great shooter with several different loads...low round count.
I've also got a bit of brass/bullets/dyes to go with it.
I bought it from my best hunting buddy thinking I wanted this (a couple of months ago) but have gone a different direction.
PM me with phone number and I can send pics.
Best regards,
Erik
