I'd have to admit I too am intrigued. I have fallen in love with a 30-06 M77 MKII International at the local hock, and my daydreams are filled with 35 Whelen conversions. Admittedly, accuracy is the first concern and velocity a close second, but I have no plans to shoot over MRT with it and for a 35 Whelen that's about 125 yards at any barrel length.
