RE: 35 whelen
I would look at the 7600 also they are very acurate,and follow up shots are as fast as a lever or an auto.The 35 Whelen is just a small step under the .338 win mag in preformance.
If you don't like the looks of a pump,take a look at the Browning BLR,you can get these in standred calibers and Magnums.
