Ive got to point out that when Remington offered those 7600 35 whelen rifles 4 guys in my elk hunt group purchased them within a year after seeing how well mine worked on the first trip I used it, (loaded with 250 speers)and how fast and effective it was,those that didn,t at the time all say they regret it and are looking, theres three basic rifle styles that at least three or four guys in my elk hunting camp have in common, those are, 7600 35 whelens, 358 win BLRs and a bunch of 45/70 marlin lever guns
all with a well proven track record in the area Ive hunted for decades, and yes Ill point out shots over 300 yards are virtually none existent in that area.
