Cool pics guys, thanks for postin!

Elksnout, 35's rock!! The whelen is quite a bit more than the 35 rem. Check out the 358 win, and the 350 mag as well, both great short action bull and grizz smashers. Got my eye on a 673 350 right now, just ain't jumped on it yet. Later

No problem on the pics.  I have seen days, the wheels rubbed on that bug, from all the weight.

Back to subject though, I have always thought the .35 Whelen was finally a non magnum long action cartridge that lived up to expectations.  Used the powder efficiently, and put the smackdown on big game.  Of course, I am biased, cause I like the .338-375 range of cartridges for elk and bigger game.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Do it, you'll love it. I bought mine back when they were first released and really like that rifle. I've taken a bear and a deer with it so far. It'll be my Moose gun if I ever get drawn. It's also my Elk gun till I decide to go ML. It's a different looking rifle with the rib but I strive to be different and I really do like that thing.

I keep a Remington 760 pump in 35 Rem. back in WI for deer hunting, 200gr bullet at 2000fps.  it's a great rig for that country, fast handling(like levers) and just a hammer on deer under 150yrds, most shots are under 75 yrds.

I have a nice Rem bolt action out here in 35 Whelen, 250gr at 2500fps and 225gr at 2700fps quite accurate and more than enough for elk and bear out to 300yds or so.

:yeah:
I have done some recent research on these two cartridges myself.  I would like a 35 Whelen some day for another elk gun.

$700 may be a bit high. I just searched gun broker and there's a 350 Mag available for $500.00 NIB. There's also a used one for close to $800 so apparently prices do vary. Just wanted to let you know but I think you should be able to find one for less than $700.00.

I've shot the .35 cal for 35 years, from .357 to the .35 Whelen.  I can't say enough good about the 700 CDL in .35 Whelen I have right now.  Way less than $700 and a dandy rifle.

Elk slaying round there, but dang the shells and even brass are hard to come by anymore.  Buddy has one, he searches on a weekly basis for brass, and or shells.  Just so he can keep stocked up for reloading.
