This is my first post—I hope I’ll find time for many more. I think it’s great to have a convenient and powerful forum like this to discuss hunting and shooting related topics with like minded people!

I have recently become interested in the .35 Whelen. So much so in fact, that I convinced myself I need one. Remington appears to be the only large manufacturer chambering rifles, their 7600 pump and their 700 bolt-action, in .35 Whelen. Since, I am most interested in a new gun, I’m going to limit my questions to Remington’s offerings. I have three questions; first, am I right in saying the only game in town for a new rifle in .35 Whelen is Remington? Second, which gun would you expect, if either, to be inherently more accurate and why? I’d expect at distances where the Whelen is appropriate, either gun will be more than sufficiently accurate—if I do my part! Your account of shooting / ammo recommendations for either gun in this caliber would really be appreciated. Finally, which gun would you expect to hold its value better? Thanks in advance.
