This is what you want.
-Pre 64 M70 action with factory bottom metal
-24" #3 Pacnor SS barrel, 1:12 twist (brand is up to you)
-D'Arcy Echols Legend stock, Edge fill (mine has the two SS recoil cross pins)
-Factory trigger (Rifle Basix makes a great modern trigger)
-Leupold VX3 1.75-6x32mm
-Leupold QR rings and low bases (low bases will barely clear the objective housing slightly wearing on both the scope and bolt handle necessitating Leupold Alumina scope cover. Butler Creeks and any other scope covers will NOT work)
-Pacmyer Decelerator pad
-Cerakote all metal in "Midnight Purple" (gives a dull blued finish)
-OD Green paint on stock
-Pillar and glass bedded
-SS swivel studs (also Cerakoted)
-8 lb 3.3 oz they way you see it.
Redneck, here on the 24HCF did the metal work and initial inletting.
Charley Santoni, CS Sports, did the stock and metal finish and bedding.
http://riflestockpainting.com/Mine is in 9.3x62mm but the 35 Whelen will fit like a well broken in glove.
