Looking for any information from anyone who has owned one the good/ bad/ ugly of the .35 rem.Lately I've been thinking of another lever action bush gun and the .35 remington has peaked my interest.
 
Bought an older Marlin in 35 Rem for my wife as a saddle/camp rifle, as she is recoil sensitive and does not want to shoot my 358 Win or 375 Win.
Sorry, have not had a chance to shoot it myself yet.
Should be a great rifle for black bears and deer out to 150 yards.
Know it has been used by people back east for decades and is a great close quarters brush rifle.
 
Guys used to praise the .35 Rem for bush range bear,elk and moose.Under 150 yards they will make a hit animal very sick.A South American jaguar hunter of days gone by used it exclusively over hounds.Brass can be hard to find but Hornady [if you like their brass] is now available.I just sold 4 sets of new Lee dies for it.
 
I nearly bought one a couple months ago because i liked the rifle. I looked into the cartridge quite seriously and it would be a perfect round for northern ontario bear and deer. I decided i wanted a bit more punch in case i find a moose across a pond. If i wasnt looking for a more moose specific rifle ida bought the 35 rem.
It should hit harder than a 3030 with more weight and frontal diameter
 
Edison Marshall used it on tiger and credited the fast handling of the Remington 14 with saving his hide.

More power and better trajectory than a 30-30. Mild recoil. Can reload for best potential. Excellent 150m Cartridge on game animals.

.35 Rem has more energy than .30/30, but it does not have better trajectory... using LVR in both cartridges with the .30/30 @ 2400 fps with a 160 FTX and the .35 Rem @ 2200 fps with the 200 FTX (as close a comparison as you can get)... with a 3.5" KZ radius the .30/30 has an MPBR of 209 yards and is 11.6" low at 300 yards. The .35 Rem has a MPBR of 190 yards and is 17.5" low at 300 yards.

That said... the .35 Rem is an easy cartridge to like.
 
I like my Marlin 336 in 35Rem! Not much else to say...

I shot a yearling whitetail doe with a Marlin 336 in .35 Remington. Shot struck just behind the shoulder at about 30 yards. Deer showed no sign of being hit and eventually a slight blood trail found the deer about 75 m away. The bullet was a pass through and did considerable damage to the lungs. It killed the deer but did not have the much vaunted knock down power tales of old .35 shooters had relayed to me. It works but like any of the "old" deer carbine calibres it does not knock them off their feet. That is unless the brain or spine is struck.

A product of the era from yesterday. 38-55 is sorta the same...hit something major and they go down. If not, well they don't get the big shock wave...notice there is no smack as the bullet hits. Big and slow.But you can eat everything but the hole.

The Remington 760s in 35Rem can be loaded to higher pressures and use pointy boowits.

I always thought one of the old blued/walnut Model Sevens would be cool in 35Rem. 20" bbl with the original sights.

What ammo or bullet?
 
It was with Remington's good old 200 grain Cor Lokt bullet. I did not recover the bullet so I don't know how well it expanded but the exit hole was about 1" more or less. I am not condemning the old .35 I have just found the .30-30 or .32 Winchester Special to be about as good on deer.

Some guys have converted Swedish mausers to take this round as well.And you can plink or take small game with .357 pistol bullets if you handload.
