I think that 1895 that Texaschase was selling in the classifieds is a perfect Whelen rebore. I have one like it in 35 Whelen, and it may be the last rifle I'd part with.

SKane Campfire Ranger Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 24,638 Midwest	Originally Posted by bigbore58 I have tried everything the best group we can get with the 7600 is a 6 inch group at 50 yards with 200gr hornady and vargat powder I had a 760 35 whelen and it would shoot a 2inch group at 100 . I have a few other 7600 and they shoot great. Does ruger chamber the 35 whelen Ever consider a new barrel for that thing? Douglas and Hart make them for the 760/7600. WWP53D

The Whelen is awesome. I just differ in theory on packages vs recoil and efficiency. 18-20" bbls even out the short 35 vs the longer 35. A rebore/reline might be a good option for getting whichever you want in whatever you want, w/o breaking the bank. They usually shoot better than the original, IME. I'd like to pick up another BLR in .358. I'd shoot anything in NA to 250+, just fine.

I'm going to get in touch with them. I've wanted a Whelen for awhile, this might be they way I go.

There is a lot more factory ammunition options, too. 9.3x62 definitely gies you more cxp4 options currently. Unfortunately most rifle and ammunition manufacturers seem to have decided the Whelen is just a woods cartridge - and hence the 1:16 twists and 200 gr soft points. Obviously, it is potentially a whole lot more than that and proven effective on buffalo. Steyr SBS also. Been one on gunbroker with a leupy 1.5-5 for 3 months now. $1200ish. I would love to have that gun.
