the .35 remington was part of a family of cartridges remington put out , they were the .25 remington , .30 remington , .32 remington , and the .35 remington , they were initially chambered in , i think it was the model 141 pump action rifle , that is why they were semi-rimless , and they were created to compete with the winchester and savage cartridges that were popular at that time , only the .35 survived and for a while was chambered in the remington m760 pump , and was recently in a limited production run offered in the m7600 pump with a black synthetic stock , and is still chambered in the marlin 336 rifle , and has been a mainstay there for years . it is about a 100 to 150 yard cartridge capable for taking deer and black bear , it is superior to the .30-30 but , isn' t a barnburner by todays cartridges standards , i' ve got one and i like her , she will do a great job as long as she' s used for what she was made for
