I got a pump 30-06 from my father-in-law. The rifle shoots minute-of-angle with 180-grain Sierras and others. The only things that I do not like about the rifle is the fact that it is heavy and a bit noisy when carrying. Especially in close quarters, that 35 should be a great elk gun.

I was going to take the 06 to Newfoundland for moose in 2011, but decided it was a good reason to buy a new Remington SPS 7 mag. grin My son in Wisconsin now has the pump and is tickled with it.

Unless you're worried about killing them too dead, take it. If that's a concern, I'll cheerfully take it off your hands and you can get a lesser rifle. Enjoy!

Show up with a rock, a spear, a pump action, lever action, single shot... anything� just not a 7mm-08, they bounce off of bunny rabbits� better take a pellet rifle.

In our camp everyone brings a bolt. You might not be made fun of, but you might be considered as "odd".

If they make fun of you, drink a bunch of whiskey, act drunk, then point the pump at them. Call the runners chickens. wink

My rem model six pump 06 that my gave me he traded a puppy for it. It has killed elk at 407 yards and the deer in my SIG at 466 shooting 180 nosler ballistic tips. I think you'll do just fine. I can work a pump a lot faster than my bolts too, not that I've need a follow up shot.

Sounds like a good choice ---- as long as the slide assembly makes NO noise when you are carrying it.

My grandpa used the same in 30-06 and by all accounts killed the hell out of elk in his day.

Guess if I was swapping calibers the Winny would be a good choice although the slider 35-06 woulda been just fine with me too. I have owned 2 Remington 7600's in 30-06 and wonder why I ever let them go. The 2nd was a grey laminate job from Grices, super sharp rifle, would shoot 3/4" or better all day long.

Must have died from embarrassment. No bolt, synthetic stock, or stainless barrel and no turrets on the scope.
