My Classic 35 Colonel Whelen got altered a bit.......



Shoots pretty well....

What is the color on that stock

I have a .30-06 and a .35 Whelen. The '06 now wears a B&C Alaskan, while the Whelen has a Boyds laminate. The '06 has taken several deer, and the Whelen has taken 3 bears.

I'd like to find a reasonably priced .300 H&H.

I passed on the 8X57 and the .300 Savage. The 8X57 really gave me pause as it was only $500. I would like to get the .250 or the .257R though.

I've had a couple, including a 6.5x55 that was well used but shot very well. I can live with the stock pretty easily and like the clean barrel as well.I'm always on the lookout for another one but there are some pretty fancy prices being asked lately!

The first one I bought was the 264 Win Mg still have and use it. The next was a use one in 7x57 that had a pitted barrel but still shot well, the pitting bugged me so it got traded. A few years back a local gunshop got rid of their retail line with a major sale with huge discounts and I picked up a new in the box 8x57 for $348+ tax, it's a great shooter. The 8's have the stupid j-lock cocking piece, I unlocked mine and tossed the key.. tuned the trigger and it shoots fine. Nothing fancy to it and it was equipped with Weaver bases, low rings and an old Weaver K4. I have more than a few 8mm bullets laying around for it and just haven't used any other than 150 gr Hornady Spire Pts at 2700-2800 fps. Kills deer just like an 06' imagine that? Sad thing is a lot of people bought Classics for donors cause I've seen a lot of take off barrels from them that still looked unfired. Magnum Man

I currently have 17 Rem, 257 Roberts, 7mm 08, and 223.
Sold or traded away 300 WM, '06, 35 Whalen and 221 Fireball. Kind of wish I'd kept them all.

That's just gray with black specs.

I own four Remington 700 Classics. They are chambered in 25-06, 7mm Weatherby Magnum, 300 Weatherby Magnum and 338 Win Mag. Great rifles.

When they were first introduced I bought one in 30-06 and years later traded it away.

Currently own two.

A .308 that now resides in a McM Hunters Edge ADL with barrel cut to 22.5" and in need of a scope and a .223.

My 300 savage came with a j-lock. A quick visit to Midway's website to order a replacement firing pin/shroud assembly fixed tha little design flaw!

Bought a 35 Whelen when it was first offered years ago. Sold it and later regretted, so when a nice used one showed up recently, I grabbed it. I'd like another one in 250 Sav...

I've got them in 250 and 300 Savage, and I love the way they handle.

.221
.220
.25-06
.300 Weatherby
.35 Whelen

I really want a .300 H&H, .300 Savage, 7x57, .250 Savage, and a .222...

ive got one in 300WM.smooth&shoots great Been thinking about selling it for another project.

I have both a 250 Savage and a 257 Roberts in TI stocks and cut to 22", love em.

Use to have one in 257 Roberts. It was a very nice rifle. I will say however that I now have a early BDL mountain rifle that I like a little better but the classics are a great rifle.

I have the 35 Whelen version...although she has been changed quite a bit.

I still have my 25-06 that I bought new in 1993. Shoots great (sub 3/4" groups), and handles and looks good too. It's still in the rotation for my deer hunts, and has taken it's fair share of bucks. Doubt if I'll ever let it go.

Darn nice looking stock on that one, what a beauty.
