RE: Anyone ever shoot a 35 remington?
I would scope it with the lightest, smallest 2.5X scope you can find mounted as low as you can mount it. I used one several times in Texas and New Mexico, and although it is no long-range proposition, in close brushy quarters, the old .35 is a great deer round, in a rifle or a handgun! I loaded my ammo with the 180 grain Speer flatnose bullet @ about 2400 FPS.
Keep yore powder dry!!
