Default RE: Woods hunters dream 7600.

I live near Grice gun shop and they had a special run in .35 rem and .35 wheelen in the 7600 and 700 cdl.The whelens go fast but the .35 rems can be picked up cheap.The whelen would be a great bear gun but the .35 rem is obsolete and not even close to ideal bear medicine,not saying they won't kill one however.You'd be lucky to break 2000 fps with the 181/2 inch barrel and 200 gr bullets.I started off hunting deer with a .35 rem and it would be one of my last choices for bear.It's too bad they won'thave a run made in .358 winchester instead of the .35 rem.
