The wife got her new big game rifle.
« on: February 06, 2018, 11:56:41 AM »
Well, My wife has been eyeing this old gorl for a while and I surprised her with it for her birthday. It mad hitting the big 30 a little easier for her. She loves it and anything inside 200 yards is in trouble with her behind the rifle. Its a Remington Model 30 Express in 35 Whelen.
Practical accuracy and a packable rifle.
Blued steel and walnut is always better.

Great looking rifle.  Thanks for sharing.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

She has good taste, sure seems to be a fine rifle. She wants to keep it original with no optics. I think it will be good for her to learn the loss of a shot because you just cant see good enough.

damn!  i've fondled that thing a half dozen times at welchers over the past few months.  just couldn't cough up the money and the safe is already over full.  what a gorgeous pre-war custom that thing is.  i can't even imagine what it would cost in today's dollars to have built, but it was a steal in my opinion for what they were asking.

congrats!
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun

Thats how I felt about it BigGoon, but she really liked it and its in such good shape. Ive given it a few coats of stock conditioner and gave it a good clean and lube. It is pretty.
