yeh bro im not building a ultralight 35 whelen... i sold a T3 9.3x62 for exact reason-- i wanted a "lighter" WhelenFrom some of your other posts I see you aren't a huge fan of recoil. A lighter 35whelen is gonna kick.
some may not have held a ruger with a 3-9x scope on it lol, they weigh a tonne, its about 4kg+ from memory.
im selling it, if it sells, i wont be in a rush to replace the 35 whelen as in next 4-5 years, but at some point it might get rebarrelled.
my Abolt now only weighs a bit more than the Kimber , even the Franchi horizon is a 3.5 outfit --
but ive made up my mind on it-- i aint guna miss it
