Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles M700 KS in .35 Whelen

People who complain about the recoil of a .35 Whelen with "heavy" 250s at over a very mild 2400 fps, should be honest in declaring themselves fearful of recoil getting up around 27 - 30 ft-lbs! And that includes numbers like 7 mm magnums, and especially .300 mags, and anything above that. Don't try to "paint" others who shoot and like .35 Whelens at full power as other than "normal", because they also like and USE in hunting, rifles like, not only the .35 Whelen, but 7 mags, 300 mags, .338 mags and .375 mags. My .35 Whelen ready to hunt with scope and ammo weighs less than 8 lbs. It's two hunting loads are: the 225gr Nos AB at 2850 fps and the original 300gr Barnes at over 2400 fps. It has a 1-12 tr.

Get a life!

I have two left handed KS rifles. One in 300 H&H and the other 375 H&H. Both have seen some considerable use. I ran into a couple of KSs in 35 Whelen in Alaska. Both right handed.

I do have a 35 Whelen but not in a KS. It loves 250 grain bullets.

If I ever found a left handed KS in 8mm magnum I would likely do something financially irresponsible.
