Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Why no love for 35s

I have certainly enjoyed my 35 Whelen. 1941 Model 70 converted to left hand. Originally a 30-06 but I had it rebored by Cliff Labounty. I could be fine with it if I were limited to one rifle for big game. Caribou and moose are not so fond of it. I've taken three caribou and one moose with mine. The caribou all with 250 grain Partitions. The moose with a Hornady 275 grain round nose.

I've always thought a light, 35 Remington with a low magnification fixed power scope, like the old school Weaver K1.5x, stoked with a 200 grain round nose, would be just the ticket for still hunting whitetails.

I think you'll find plenty of love on this site for 35's.
