I have a 35 remington model 760 and that thing is deadly. Dont listen to anyone that says they dont kick more than a 243, the 243 is a cap gun compared to the 35 but its more tame than my 308rem model 760. The 35 is a terrific gun and if I had to chose between the two the 35 would be the first one in my truck and in the stand with me.
