Yes the old '62 is a fine round. My FN I put together in 2000 with a Karnis reworked stock and my Weaver mounts. Used a B&C Medalist for years, bottom from 2002. You've got good taste....
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

35 Whelen is a really fine caliber and a couple of years ago, I may have been tempted. I've since bought a Ruger 358 Win stainless as well as a CZ 550 American 9.3x62. So I've filled the hole that a 35 Whelen would have filled as a hunting rifle.
Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.

I picked one up and am looking to order a McMillan. Anyone know what barrel profile these have? I assume it is the standard sporter like the 30-06 but want to be sure.

It's a standard sporter. I had one and foolishly traded it!
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Bob, I'd love to have a couple of Ruger stocks reshaped like yours. That just looks good!

I have two Ruger M77 tang safety .358s, on strictly stock and the other in a McMillan because the factory wood was way too pretty to scar up outin the hills. I also have a browning BLR and Savage 99 in .358 Win. On the Whelen side, I have a Ruger M77RS, a Remington 700 Classic and a custom Mauser. I happy with those right there. Paul B.

If McMillan would make the mk-ii classic stock in edge tech I would order one of these in a heartbeat If they would make the Hawkeye stock with no cheekpiece, and available in lefty, I would buy one. I guess McMillan has all they can say grace over supplying Rems and Winchesters.

Very nice rifles you have BFaucett. I've thought about having my MKII stainless bead blasted for a matte finish. I wasn't too impressed with the initial Hawkeye matte finishes though. They seemed a little too delicate and proned to scuff easily.

Since I happen to be in Kentucky today, I looked up where Bud's is located. About 20 minutes away, so I went. Lots of guns of all kinds, especially handguns and tactical stuff. Since my trip home is on an airplane, there wasn't much I could buy.

I'm not sure, but can't you buy it and then mail it to yourself? (rifles/shotguns that is)

Two years ago Ruger 358 Stainless/synth were going being blown out for under $500, so I couldn't resist. I cut/crowned the barrel to 18.5" or so, then topped it off with a fixed 4x Leup with heavy duplex. I had a boat paddle Ruger stock with wood inserts, so I thought it would make a neat rig.

I would in a heart beat if I did not have one.
Unless of course it had the hideous boat paddle stock. Thank God those went the way of the dodo bird. The designer should too!
