35 Whelen is a really fine caliber and a couple of years ago, I may have been tempted. I've since bought a Ruger 358 Win stainless as well as a CZ 550 American 9.3x62. So I've filled the hole that a 35 Whelen would have filled as a hunting rifle.

I picked one up and am looking to order a McMillan. Anyone know what barrel profile these have? I assume it is the standard sporter like the 30-06 but want to be sure.

It's a standard sporter. I had one and foolishly traded it!


I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Bob, I'd love to have a couple of Ruger stocks reshaped like yours. That just looks good!

I have two Ruger M77 tang safety .358s, on strictly stock and the other in a McMillan because the factory wood was way too pretty to scar up outin the hills. I also have a browning BLR and Savage 99 in .358 Win. On the Whelen side, I have a Ruger M77RS, a Remington 700 Classic and a custom Mauser. I happy with those right there. grin

If they would make the Hawkeye stock with no cheekpiece, and available in lefty, I would buy one. I guess McMillan has all they can say grace over supplying Rems and Winchesters.

Very nice rifles you have BFaucett. I've thought about having my MKII stainless bead blasted for a matte finish. I wasn't too impressed with the initial Hawkeye matte finishes though. They seemed a little too delicate and proned to scuff easily.

Since I happen to be in Kentucky today, I looked up where Bud's is located. About 20 minutes away, so I went. Lots of guns of all kinds, especially handguns and tactical stuff. Since my trip home is on an airplane, there wasn't much I could buy.

I'm not sure, but can't you buy it and then mail it to yourself? (rifles/shotguns that is)

Two years ago Ruger 358 Stainless/synth were going being blown out for under $500, so I couldn't resist.

I cut/crowned the barrel to 18.5" or so, then topped it off with a fixed 4x Leup with heavy duplex. I had a boat paddle Ruger stock with wood inserts, so I thought it would make a neat rig.

I would in a heart beat if I did not have one.

Unless of course it had the hideous boat paddle stock. Thank God those went the way of the dodo bird. The designer should too!
