Several years ago I bought one of Grices' special run of 18.5 inch barreled 35 Rem 7600s when I really couldn't afford it. I was scared to hunt with it and scuff it up and so it became the first, and only, firearm I ever bought and never shot before selling for what I paid for it...$540. I wish I would have kept it now but it's just water under the bridge. I did find a 7600 in 35Whelen about five years ago but have only taken one buck with it. I may someday get a 243 or 308 and have it re-bored to .358 Win. What I'll do with a 358 I can't do with the Whelen I don't know except I would have the barrel cut back to 18.5" to give me a carbine. Or I wouldn't mind having an original 760 in a 35Remington carbine either. Oh how I ramble...
