Too Late...SOLD. Nice rifle too.
Here's what it now looks like, actually stock thought to be an early B&C. I re-did the bedding, painted it. It really likes the 160 TTSX over Varget, 180 NAB and 210 NPT over H-380, all three loads MOA or better. It's wearing a Conquest 3-9x40 with retro fitted elevation turret. I'll get a ballistic tape when I settle on the best load. Here's an example on another rifle, same scope.
I traded a 9.3x62, too nice to use, an AHR full house custom CZ. The 9.3x62 is a great round. I never had a 35 Whelen, but it does sound like a nice round. Those that like it, really like it.
