I've had a Scout v1 35 Whelen since 2013 for primitive season, laws changed gets carried pretty much all season since.
Begarra was making the barrels for the Scouts at the time thought was worth a try, I like how it shoots.
35 Whelen recoil in a 5.5 lb rifle, mine did get a 11oz Mercury Recoil suppressor in butt stock kicks like
a 243/7-08 after.
Have no regrets on purchase good bang for buck.
