Why Aren't The 35's More Popular?

I have another prettier 350 too and a nice Whelen and a sweet little 358 Win as well, but you're gonna have to sweet talk me to get me to post photos.................Oh ya and I almost forgot a very nice shooting 95 in 35 Win.
 
I see nothing wrong with 35 calibers and wouldn't turn one down in a pre-64 M70. . There were a few 358's built in FW and earlier in production there were a few 35 Whelens. . If I happened upon one I would buy it if was very good original. . I don't doubt the 35 cal guns are a good hunting round, but as far as a hunting rifle in larger than 30 cal I like to use my 1959 Model 70, 338 WM. . What works good for me is 73 gr of 4831 with a 200 gr bullet. . I can load more powder and use heavier bullets but this load seems to works just fine. . The only added weight over my 30-06 is one inch of extra barrel. .

There aren't many left... but what is there is not curly... ;)
 
Somebody (not me) should run ballistic comparisons between the .35's and thetr .338,9.3,.375 counterparts to see if the hunting public has really missed out by largely ignoring the .35's

This rifle weighs quite a bit less than the old 600 and I don't find it at all obnoxious to shoot..........and my loads are smokin'...........For those who are unfamiliar with this rifle, it is a Remington model 7 KS in 350 Rem Mag.

"This rifle weighs quite a bit less than the old 600" ?? Really ?

I see conflicting weights for both the 600 and M7 KS. Looks like they would be in similar weight class but I've never handled a 7KS.

Have always like the Model Seven.

I'm guessing this KS version has a lighter stock and barrel than the typical M7's ?
 
MAH................Model 7 (older one like this) has a much slimmer barrel that the 600s and Kevlar is less than 1/3 the weight of wood, especially like the old 600s with the long square forends.

I could knock some more weight off it by changing rings and mount and doing an alum bolt shroud and speed lock kit, but can't be bothered I love it just the way it is...........
