I have a Remington 600 in 35 Rem. Inherited it used and have not hunted with it yet, but perfect brush gun for NW PA hills and deer. I've shot other 35 Rems and this round packs a wallop. For distances over 150-200 yards, there's better choices, but it easily outperforms a 30-30 or 348 Win and several shorter range cartridges.
