Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats 358 win or 350 rem mag?

I have hunted Vermont with a .358 Winchester since 1966. I have never owned a 350 RM.

The 358 I use most is a 99F and I have taken deer with it in VT, ME, PA and NY. I could argue that anymore recoil than a 358 would make it more difficult for a second shot but to each his own.

A 99F weighs 7.75 lbs with a 2-7.

I have 358's in 99's, a MS full stock carbine and a M70 Featherweight. The 99F is by far, in my estimation, the best woods rifle of those.

Here is the MS I got at the Autumn Gun Works. Oh boy was it expensive! Its kind of thick in the middle too. I prefer the Brno 22f's over this model MS. Had to have it though as its a .358!
