I've never fingered a M14 or the even more desirable 14 1/2 in a .35, but my uncle has a .30 Remington and a friend has a .32 Remington M14 and they felt more like a BB gun compared to my 141. That thing was all steel and a real chunk even with the bobbed barrel. That was back in my youth when I thought that I could walk down a deer until I realized that they had 4 legs and I only had two and they could go twice as fast.
The 14 1/2 was only chambered in 38-40 and 44-40.
The 14 was chambered in 25, 30, 32, and 35 REM.
I've heard of 141s made in 25 REM, but have never seen one, only in 30, 32, and 35 REM.
