Default RE: .35 Whelen

I don't believe Marlin or Winchester ever chambered the 35 Whelen in their 94 or 36 It would take a longer action as it is uses the 30-06 casing. I believe you can get a Encore barrel. Not long ago I thin Weatherby was chambering it. Someone here may know of some other options. I once just rebarreled a LH 30-06 BDL to 35 Whelen. I think you can buy a Whelen barrel for the Savage rifles as well. Try Midway USA. Last year Grice Gun shop had a limited run of 7600 Remingtons in that caliber. They may have one left of maybe a used one. Its a fine caliber and can harvest a lot of the same game as the bigger magnum rifles. With a lot less recoil I might add.
