Not perfect job of posting a hunting photo, but I got this spike buck on public hunting land basically in the Jackson County Forest near Merrillan, WI. Rifle is a Rem 760 in 35 Rem manufactured circa 1980. It's sorta deluxe with higher gloss wood. Some bright individual before me trimmed the barrel from 22" to 18". They did a good job and the crown is perfect. Accuracy is outstanding. I really enjoy hunting and shooting with this particular thunder stick. It is one of my primary gas-checked cast bullet flinging platforms

I would snap it up and call it a day on them. My son has one and thinks the world of it.

Trigger isn't the best, but it works. I'm glad others have posted upgrades and possible sources. I think a slim model 7 in 35 rem would be just the ticket. Pressure has always been held to only modest levels in this round, but Lane Simpson posted the possibilities of what this cartridge can do in stronger actios in an article of Handloader 1982

Never had any problems with them. Then I had one, a carbine rechambered to 358Win which has become a favorite bear rifle with 200gr TTSX and TAC. I call it my Mini Whelen.

Remington 760 newbie here. I found a 760 in 35 rem locally that I'm interested in. It has no checking or cuts on the forearm or butt. Does that tell you anything about originality? Barrel date code appears to be B ZZ Edited to add the butt looks like it's been bubba'd. Notice the scalloped out part by the top of the stock. Kinda like a inverted check piece.

The 35s are cool. I’ll probably eventually own one.

I turned mine into a 35 Whelen
Wish I’d kept it.

Thought about having mine bored to .338 but doubt there is enough difference in power between the .30 caliber and .338 to matter.

Great looking 170 Savage, and in .35 Remington to boot. I rarely see one and when I do it's usually 30-30. Would love to find one in that condition and in .35 Remington. It will be a hammer I'm sure, good luck with it.

Those are interesting. I've never had one. I've shot a few and we had one that didn't work to use when we taught hunters safety. Cool guns.

Nice! I haven't stumbled across a 170 in .35 before. Should be a handy woods gun.

Handled a few sav 170's it's built a lot the same as the pump shot gun made by savage. I literally wore it out in 3 years when I was a teenager. You guys don't have any competition from me on them. I'll stick with my 7600. Let's get back on the Remington track. Mb
