The poor cousin of big game cartridges.

[Why not?]

MadDog's latest thread got me thinking about this. Why don't more people use it?

It is a very accurate and adequate for deer, bear, and moose cartridge, yet most don't even know it exists.

That's probably some info that would be good to have in the thread title.

Some of us still use the 35 Remington. I took mine for a walk in the bush this week cuz bears are up and about. Great shed hunting caliber

The circumstances of choice and popularity are at times more than a little fickle. I have one that similar questions could be asked of. One of my, no, my favorite lever gun/calibre combo . The 348 WCF.

40MW plasma rifles are quite scarce

I had too many .35's... something had to go and the .35 Rem didn't make the short list... neither did the .358 Norma... I kept the three in the middle.

I grew up shooting my dad's model 336 in 35 Remington. I still really like the cartridge/rifle but have gravitated towards more versatile rifles and cartridges in recent years.

Until now , I was completely unaware of the lack of a shed hunting rifle in my collection....... looks like I'm going rifle shopping .

There's a calibre I weakened on. I was on the search for a 358NM to complete my quest for a three gun collection of Schultz & Larsens. I was trying to match the three cartridges shown on the cover of the old Norma reloading manual. The 7x61S&H, 308NM and the 358NM which were a the result of a development co-operation between Norma and Schultz. Prior to finally locating a Schultz & Larsen in 358NM, I was offered a VERY nice model 1651 Husqvarna in 358NM, which I weakened and bought. I was going to part with the Husqvarna when I obtained the Schultz. I've had two offers for for it but haven't let it go yet.

While I like my 358 Win in the BLR, and the 356 Win in my Marlin and Winchester lever actions, my wife isn't fond of recoil of this level, so I got her a Marlin 336 in 35 Rem as her saddle/camp gun.

One of my friends regularly uses a Remington pump in 35 Rem as his guide gun

 

[SuperCub]

I think a 20" uberlight Model Seven in 35 Remington would be a cool little rig.

I never understood why the .35 rem never got a good foothold. The 336 and the .35 rem are about the perfect combo for hunting deer in the thickets.

Bought a Browning BLR 358 early 80, never found a use for it, still unfired.

Never had ammo for it, It's a nice collectable i was told.

Always fetch up a 308 especially one of my Steyr Scout for my go to hunting rifle

Agreed, and I am a member of that club!
