I didn’t realize Remington still produced the 18.5” open sight carbine version.

Epps is showing (3) 35 Whelens in stock if anyone is interested.

Yep. Those syn ones are made for overseas sales . It is the wood ones that are worth buying as an investment but they rarely show

In my experience the iron sights are useless as you can’t get your head low enough to use them effectively, but I have a big head/jaw so may not be a problem for everyone

I also find that problem but only with the monte carlo stocked M7600 version using the irons - cheek bone gets a savage rap. However these 35 Whelen carbines are specifically non-monte carlo which is not the normal syn stock used on M7600s. Should be fine with the irons IME. I have one - but YMMV.

If you want a carbine M7600 in 35Whelen - as always - you snooze you lose. Even the syn stocked ones don't come up very often.

With and without the monte carlo;

Agree 100% on that. Have you ever seen any more wood stock ones after that small batch of six I think it was epps had at one time
Man I was stupid that day not taking the 5 that were left

Hope you like it as much as I like mine. If scoping it a Leup 1-4x20 mounted low seems about perfect to me. This is my wood stocked version below - one of the batch of six mentioned.

Nope - just a trickle (3 to 6 at a time) of syn stocked ones every three years or so.

Me either and to think that day I could have had five of them. Oh well I managed to get one
They are not hard to sell that is for sure
take care
