RE: what do you think?
I think you'd like a 760 in .35 Whelen a lot better. It gives you the option of shooting moose and large bear, which you can do with a .35 Rem. also, but the Whelen is a much better choice for these big critters. You already have a .35 Whelen, don't you??
The 760 series are much better guns than the semi-autos made on the same receiver!
