Got an itch for a 350 Rem Mag.

- Start date
The guide gun is ugly, but I think the worst part about it is the rib, and it's removable. A buddy has one w/o the rib, and it's a nicly proportioned rifle. Nice open grip, points well, and really handles recoil nicely. I was prepared to hate it, but a day of carrying it changed my mind.
Wholesale Sports lists the stainless/synthetic 700 BDL in 300SAUM for $679....this is what my 350 Rem Mag is built on, I put an older but new B&C Medalist stock on it...great rifle.
$679 plus GST is $720...barrel installed is about $450, there you have a stainless 350 Mag for $1170...restock it later.

Not stainless, but my like-new M700 Classic .350 Remington Magnum might be going into the EE shortly as I'm having a .338-06 built.
I bought one of these Ruger rifles in 350 Rem Mag. I have not had time to shoot it yet, but the action is incredibly rough. I worked the bolt several times, without ammo in the gun. It had a tendency to bind up. After several repititions, the bolt will now open and close without binding, but it still feels very rough.
I heard from one other person on CGN that the Ruger will not feed the 350 reliably. I have a feeling he is correct.

I dunno why they won't build that little frontier or compact LSS in 350....I'd own one for sure.
Hmmm...Rembos got me thinking....may have to see if I can find a stainless/laminate model 7 in a short action magnum and rebarrel.

have you considered the 35 Whelen? I have it in a bolt (M98 Mauser) and a Rem pump.
Both are very nice to carry and shoot.
There is something about that big 35 bullet.
I also have a 358 Win and a 35 Rem. My favourite rifles to hunt with. Only the Mauser has connected. Took down a moose.

...... or a 358Winchester?
I just bought a 20" Model Seven in that caliber from an old river pirate.

Actually, it was from his wife, the piratess.
The 358 Norma gets my vote.
If you are recoil sensitive you aren't goint to like the potent little 35's anyway. So (in my pea brain) the 358 Norma makes a sensible chamber.
If you can shoot a barky little 600 in 350 Rmag then you can shoot a well built 358 Norma just as easy.
Nothing wrong with the 350 RM but most actions don't fit it too well while any burnt out short magnum action (300 win length) is a good candidate for the Norma.
Of course the same can be said for the 36-06 length non magnums and the 35 Whelan.
