35 Whelan, 45-70, 338 Win are all on my radar for future calibers. I'll never be in Africa. I think someone mentioned they did not know what you wanted to do with the gun, so it would be hard to suggest - that's pretty true.
I have never owned a .35 Whelan, but own .35 Remington,Marlin.45-70, Browning A-Bolt .338 and BLR .358.
