Friend of mine is thinking seriously about having one of his 94s rebored and chambered to 35 on the 30-30 case.
Any trouble getting it to feed?
Ted Nope Did you get custom dies or just open up a 30-30 set? The sensible thing to do is just sell the 30-30 and get a 35 Rem, but he/we is/are a rifle looney.  Thanks, Ted

I have always thought this link was one of the best bullet evaluations on the net. It was about 35 Remington bullets. The original Rem 200 grain roundnose core-lokt was a great performer in the bullet test, as well as the Speer 180 and 220 grain flat point bullets. http://www.suitorsgarage.com/gunstuff/35remington/35rempart2.htmlI had two Marlin 336 35 Remingtons. One a 336C. The other was a ballard-rifled waffle top 336a. Both shot well (<1.5 moa), but I never took game with them. Sold them 15+ years ago as I was reducing the number calibers/chamberings in my gun rack. The 35 Rem is a no muss, no fuss cartridge for woods ranges. It still works.

I need to use this to draw blood. Custom Shop Model 7 35 Rem. I couldn't handle the recoil with the McMillan stock so I mounted the action in an early Model 7 synthetic stock. It wears a Leupold fixed 4 power. I purchased it on the campfire. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/JnSCQP7Z/100-0227.jpg) Ken

It is good to see you posting.

The 35 Remington is one of my favorites to shoot/ collect but I have not hunted with one .
I enjoy shooting my 336A in .35 Rem. also, but like you hunt with other rifles. Too many better choices.

Something with a scope for these old eyes.

In my early years (eons ago) I shot quite a few deer in NY state and Maine with both a 30-30 Win and a 35 Rem lever rifles. My deceased uncle shot a 476 lb. bear in the Adirondacks in 1967 with a 336 Marlin in 35 Rem which held the state record for a number of years. The animals hit with the 35 Rem always seems to drop faster and die quicker compared to the 30-30.
I've got 20+ big game rifles in various calibers and actions but honestly in the places I hunt and at the range I shoot most deer and bear I could hunt the rest of my life using a 336 Marlin in 35 Rem.

My grand dad and his crowd in West VA thought the perfect deer rifle started and ended with the 35 Remington Marlin...
most of those guys are long gone now...
my 15 yrs in Minnesota, knew a lot of old guys who thought the perfect deer round started and ended with the 35 Remington,
but their preference for the rifle chambered in it, was either a Model 14 Rem or a Model 141....then the guys that had to be different seemed to prefer a Rem Model 8 instead....
in the 80s and 90s, there sure seemed to be plenty of store ammo on the shelves in 35 Remington...
Never owned one, but I certainly could live with one, in the areas I hunt here in Oregon anymore at my age..
I don't need a 500 yd rifle, to take down a 100 lb blacktail at 75 or 80 yrds...

I spent last Sunday pushing through chest-high sword ferns in search of the wily blacktail. The longest possible shot was well under 100 yards. Either of these rifles would be perfect for that. This thread is going to cost me a fortune. Okie John
If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.
