Those pumps can be rare like hen’s teeth. And, when you do find them you pay top dollar. Hal Bloods crew had did a run in 35 Whelen a couple years back but good luck getting one of those. In my experience tracking I find you’ll get one good shot off immediately and then your next best will be after about 50-75 yards sometimes they’ll slow and look back. Outside of that you best make the first one count. A smooth clean handling 700/7 short action is likely as good as anything. I know those 760/7600 are the rifles of choice and are solid and accurate performers but can be damn hard to come by in decent shape and then you’ll pay through the nose. I’d definitely love to have one though either long or short to put a :35 bore in.
