TheKid. The Ruger 35 Whelen is a tang safety 77R (circa1990). The guy I bought it from said that cartridge came in a RS and a 24" barrel, but he had Ruger sell him one with no sights and a 22" barrel.
I took a MKII with a slick 22” barrel in 350 Rem Mag with me when I moved to Alaska. Never used it on anything, ended up swapping it for a 45/70 and doing that for a year before mending my ways. After that I went to the Whelen and it was my main squeeze for 9 seasons.
