Why Aren't The 35's More Popular?

MAH................Model 7 (older one like this) has a much slimmer barrel that the 600s and Kevlar is less than 1/3 the weight of wood, especially like the old 600s with the long square forends.

I could knock some more weight off it by changing rings and mount and doing an alum bolt shroud and speed lock kit, but can't be bothered I love it just the way it is...........

Thanks for the info c-fbmi. So is this rifle down in the 4 pound + range (without scope) ?

I have a couple 600 Mohawks in light weight HS Precision stocks and aluminum shrouds but the barrel looks a bit thicker than this Seven. When was this KS version new to market ?
Again, have always liked the Seven's, will have to look into this.

Sounds like your 7KS could be in the Kimber Adirondack/Mountain Ascent weight class.

4-5 pound sounds like it would really thump in .350 Rem.

That wasn't my rifle but one that was posted here yrs ago. Poor lad thought it was a great rig. I don't think it ended well for him after that pic went up. :)
 
I have recently dabbled in .358 Win action with not one but two Savage 99's. One is minty collector, the other a working rifle. Incredibly accurate, hits hard and staring to work loads after getting all the components.
 
Whelen B I absolutely love your website www.35cal.com. It was actually your website that really got me intrigued with the 35's.

Glad you found it useful.

"This rifle weighs quite a bit less than the old 600" ?? Really ?

I see conflicting weights for both the 600 and M7 KS. Looks like they would be in similar weight class but I've never handled a 7KS

Douglas is right. Typically a 350RM Remington M7 Custom KS weighs 5 3/4 lbs (with sights) and a M600 weighs 6 1/2 lbs - more here - http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/501295-quot-5-3-4-lbs-of-bolt-action-fury-quot

I just sold my Maggie M600/350RM to BC a few weeks back. Loved it but was time to send it on down the road.
