35 Remington............Pump?

There has also been a small number of the Remington 7600 rifles (and possibly carbines) chambered for the 35 Remington and the Savage Model 170 and 170C was chambered for it as well.
The most recent manufacture of 7600s in 35 Remington were special ordered by Grice Wholesale (Grice Gun Shop's) in the USA...these folks have had Remington produce various small runs of "oddball" chamberings for them over the years...the .25-06, 7mm-08, 35 Remington are just a few examples.

I would be very happy with a good condition Savage 170 or early Rem 760 in .35 Rem.
Dang nice rifles in that chambering.

Yep they did a one year run of 7600 carbines in 35 rem and also did the 35W in 7600 not talking the Grice runs
Never did.
People rechamber 35 Rems to get there - only way apart from rebarreling.
Remington refers to them on their website as special runs. However I have NEVER seen one reference or official word published by Remington anywhere to the fact that they made 35 Whelen 7600 carbines - as we know they have in small numbers.

Here's my Savage 170 in 35 Rem, great little brush buster.
Shown with a Savage 4X scope which is correct for the era, I've since put a Savage 2.5 post crosshair on it for when we push deer in the fall.

There was one year, I believe, between 1987 and 1994??? that the 35 Whelen in carbine form with a regular walnut stock was offered in the catalog alongside the 308 and 30-06 Carbines. After that only the 30-06 Carbine was catalogued with the 308 possibly making an appearance for another couple years in the late 90's early 2000's??? A guy would have to look thru the old catalogs. Back in 2006 I believe it was I had Remington tell me that they made regular yearly production runs of 35 Whelen 7600 rifles and carbines for the European and Australian markets. I can only speculate that these production runs is where our Carbines are coming from.
Pretty sure u are wrong on that. Be interested in actual proof to show me wrong as I have an unhealthy interest in such information. Lived thru those days with my ear to the 35 Whelen rail and I loved the carbines better than rifles. First 35 Whelen carbine I heard of was wood stocked in about 2006 maybe (forget year exactly right now) - bought it and another synthetic stocked carbine a few years later.
However the story about these 21st century carbines as european orders may have merit. All that is still a bit mysterious to me however and doesn't change the fact they are/were unpublished runs it seems (made 2002, 2004, and 2009 and more?) - with a few floaters left behind for lucky N. Americans.

I have all of the catalogs in those years so will have a look. The syn 35W carbines are not difficult to find. They were exported to France and Austrailia if I recall and they come up state side
Wood stock is a different story and the only ones I have seen is that small batch that came in at epps which I assume Whelen B refers to

I very well could be wrong about it being catalogued which is why I stated one would have to look back in the old catalogs! But I do know they made a 35 Whelen Carbine in 1993 because my friend's uncle bought one in Maine that August and that was actually the very first Remington 7600 Carbine I'd ever seen...and the very first time I was introduced to the 35 Whelen. At the age of only 14 I knew what my first new rifle would be once I'd saved up my summer earnings! LOL! Wound up buying a 30-06 in carbine trim at 16 cause the 35s where impossible to find anywhere but I now own two 7600s in 35 Whelen...a high-gloss rifle from Oct. 1988 (EI) and a Synthetic Carbine from Jan. 2013 (BH)
The Savage 170 pump rifle was made from 1970 through 1981. The rem 760 started in 1952
