I'd also recommend the Remington CDL in 35 Whelen. It is a good buy and a very nice looking gun--especialy if you can find one with a bit of personality in the wood grain.
As already mentioned, any bullet 250 grain or under will shoot very well in the Remington. I only had minor issues with the 310 Woodleigh.
I'm also a huge fan of the Ruger No.1 and would highly recommend one, but I've never owned nor shot one in 35 Whelen.
