Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles ruger 35 whelen bolt action

I don't know what it would be worth in the States but my Ruger 77 cost $650.00 here in Alberta a few years ago.(Purchased used but in excellent condition.) Tang safety, open sights, nice wood, shoulders like a dream, local deer, elk and moose don't much care for it, it has quickly beome my first out the door rifle.
I wouldn't sell mine for twice what I paid!
Recently I looked at a 35 Whelen Remington 700 in an Southern AB shop, POS comes to mind. Poor workmanship, particularly the wood to metal fit, but what really grabbed my attention was the freakin butt pad was loose on a NIB rifle, guy in the store said most Remingtons they had received lately were like that!
