I have a 35 REM not whelan for my pistol and that thing is a blast to shoot, and it dang sure knocks the crap out of a deer at 150 yards

not sure what your going to do with it but I think a custom remington model 7 in .358 winchester would be an excellent west side general purpose rifle :twocents:

I have a 350 Rem Mag which is very similar to the 35 Whelen so I voted for it but a 375 is in my future.

voted .35 Whelen........  I always wanted one of those rifles!  Its a great all around big game caliber.  Great ballistics and such plus its a dying breed.  I guess Im old school

Well my preference is 9.3X62 and it has been around since 1905, my other is 45-70.

35 Whelen Ackley Improved.

Or get an OLD school 9.3x57 Mauser
A Smith & Wesson Beats Four Aces.

KillBilly asked me to read the question it was not what we want but what your choice between the 35W and the 375HH. I would go for the 375HH because the ammo is easyer to find if you are in a jamb and need some factory stuff in the bush.  :twocents:

When you read the poll, the third option is:

Other...please post your choice

And again, I vote 375 Ruger #1 and #2 choice would be 9.3 x 62.

If you're going with a .37 look into that new 375 Ruger. I hear it's a beast.
