I hope my rifle shoots good. I live in commy kalifornia so i have to wait 10 days to get it, 8 more to go. I have been ,looking for a 35 whelen for awhile and a lgs store had this one. It's a custom gun built on a interarms x mark action, older McMillan stock and a 24 inch McGowan barrel. I kinda shy away from one off guns but i know the owner of the shop and he has its twin in 280 remington and he loves it. I have some imr 4064 and speer 220gr bullets. I will keep my fingers crossed and hope it shoots well. Tha ks for the info and advice.
