Wow 35 Rem is great!

One of the best offerings out there in 35Rem is the M760. They will accept heavier loads than levers and are quite accurate. Pointy bullets work in them as well so the fine Hornady 200gr SP will work.
 
Yeah and the 35 Whelen is better than the .356 and the .358 Norma is better than the .35 Whelen. The point most guys who have used it are making is the .35 Rem is very effective on game at normal woods ranges plus it is easy on the shoulder and ears as well. Like Supercub said, the 760 Remington is a great choice in .35. My old man has killed a pile of stuff with an old 760 Remington made in 1954. I shot it at the range and put three 200 grain Corelokt Remington factory loads in the paper at 100 yards you could cover with a loonie. My dad said he had no idea it would shoot that good. I have had a few rifles that I paid four to five times as much for that wouldn't do as well with factory fodder.
 
I was on a moose hunt in central Ontario back in the late 80's, walking a trail. Came upon a bunch of blood, clipped hair and a spent .35 Remington casing. I'd always kinda thumbed my nose at those old "low powered" lever cartridges like the 30-30, 32 Special and the 35Rem. About 25 yards further along the trail was a serious gut pile. Somebody had taken a pretty good sized moose with his old "low powered" 35. I was impressed.

Well I'm hoping to take a deer this year with it, maybe a moose next year if I get the chance!

If you have another gun with more punch than your .35 available when you go after moose next year, I'd strongly advise using that one. The .35 can kill a moose under the right conditions obviously, but you might not encounter the right conditions. If you're willing to pass on the shot (in keeping with the "ethical" theme), great, but you need to be prepared for that possibility.
 
Hey guys. You all keep saying that the .35 is a soft recoiling gun. I've never shot one (never even been around one), but shoot a Marlin 30-30. The recoil of the 30-30 is not bad, but because of the weight, it's "sharp" compared to my heavy barrel .308. How would you compare the .35? I'm thinkin' that it would make a nice partner for my 30-30. I don't even hunt, but enjoy making noise at the range.

I also need to ask... is there a Marlin model with a longer barrel in .35? Thanx for any response. (and sorry if I'm a little OT).
 
I liked my .35 Rem's... never met a cartridge that I didn't like... but I found myself with way too many .35 cals, had over a dozen at one time... so to streamline, I settled on the .358 Win as the right balance for my purposes... all the .356, .35R, .35W, .350RM, .35NM's were sold and only two .358 Win's remain.
