Outstanding. Time to burn some ammo and send some bullets downrange.

That’s a fine lookin rifle now.
I have a Rem 660 in 308 that could be rebored to something similar. I need a light stock for it.

I have a model 7 in 358 win. Sent model 7 action to ER Shaw and he added an 18.5” barrel. Then had my gunsmith add a jewel trigger and sit it in a HS Precision stock. Shoots 178gr hammers right at 1/2 to 3/4.

I've owned several 35s over the years including three or four 358s. I always thought that if I was just going to shoot lightweight bullets in a 358, I might as well shoot 180s from a 308 or 30-06.

Just sayin'. smile

Supercub I saw the hammers at the Pa sportsman show and was amazed at the hole in the bullet. So I bought some and tried them on deer. Absolutely incredible. My go to load is 225 Accubonds. I like the 7 cuz of the shortness and ease of use in my deer stands and blinds. I always tend to load on the lighter range of the cartridge. 308 and 06 I load 125 ballistic tips for deer.

I have a 700 I purchased here, it's a moa rifle with 200gr Hornady Custom factory loads, handy to with the 18 1/2" barrel with a 12" twist

Don't know that I would want it any more compact or lighter than this one, but Judman did a mercy makeover that looks fantastic!

Except, to my knowledge, Remington never made it in left hand. It’s a great platform for the 358!

Edit to add: just a great timber or mixed country rifle/cartridge combo.
