Have one in 17 Rem. Handles nice and shoots good! I bought it to cerakote it and stick in an Edge stock for hunting but I really like the stock so haven't had the heart to "customize" it yet. Same here but the only customizing Ive done was to plop it into a BDL stock...... I put one of the 300’s in a BDL stock because the rifle & stock it has looked new and I had a couple BDL stocks. I’ve also put the 257 in a BDL stock as I think I’ll be carrying that around, it’s stock looked like new. I believe that 257 hasn’t been shot much - it could be unfired, IDK.
I prefer classic.

Hanco, kinda like looking at good looking gals hard to turn your head away. When you got a cold beer in hand they are really enhanced..mb

I have 3 of them. 2 are 220 Swift's, one of which I purchased new in 1992. The 3rd is a .222. Surprisingly, both 220's out shoot the .222. Go figure.

I have one in 300 Savage with great wood. I need to get some pictures and put it in the classifieds along with a couple other rifles.

I have them in 250 Savage , 300 Savage, and 350 RemMag. Used to have a 280 Rem, but traded it for a pristine 1956 Savage 99F in 300 Sav. The only one I've modified is the 300 Sav - got rid of the j-lock, then had a smith cut the barrel to 22" with a target crown and install a Timney trigger. Will group under an inch with Remington factory ammo. Competing with my kimber .308 for field time and gaining ground!

Love to have one in .222. I have a mint 7.5 Leupold from the 70's that would go nicely on it.
Bob Got one. She’s a beauty. Loves flat based bullets. Only tolerates boat tail bullets, even Sierra match variety.

My dad and I both loved the 35 Whelen so when Remington brought them out we both bought one. He sold his at some point but I still have mine. I do all my Whelen shooting with my mauser so the Remington is still unfired since new. From what I read on this thread they seem to have gone up a lot in price. I had no idea the Whelen was so popular.

Years ago I was buying a 223 in a BDL. I told the salesman I should have brought it the year before when they had the classic. He told me they had one in back. So I walked out with the classic .

I have had 3:
350 Rem Mag
6.5x55 Swedish
375 H&H Mag
I sold the 350 Mag after my lovely wife bought me a CZ Model 550 American in 9.3x62 Mauser. I found I much preferred the 9.3 over the 350 so it went down the road. Still have the other 2. I have used the 6.5x55 on mule deer and pronghorn and my 375 has gone to Africa 5 times. I doubt either will ever be sold and I'll let my nephews fight over them when I'm gone. 3 of them want the 6.5x55 so I'll let them fight that one out.

Well so far mine has taken Cape Kudu, Southern Greater Kudu, Impala, Zebra, Blue Wildebeest, Black Wildebeest, Oribi, Western Roan, Western Hartebeest, Cape Hartebeest, Gemsbok, Warthog, Blesbok, Elk, Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, Black Bear, Wild Hog and probably a few other things that escape me at the moment. The 375 H&H is probably the most versatile round on earth.
