I have a 35 and 400 Whelen and for a while had a 375 Whelen. I considered a 338-06 before I had the 35 Whelen but the classic won out in the end. To be honest I could be happy with any one of them, 338/06, 35 Whelen, 9.3x62, 375 Whelen or 400 Whelen if I was limited to one. My favorite of course is the 400.

Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
