As James B said, it was introduced in the 1920s. I always heard that time passes by quickly, but that's not new.
You really smoked yourself, heck, it's actually quite funny.

I wonder how you can have experience with that rifle/cartridge combo since its quite new?

"Really smoked myself" ???
Actually if you read the original question the person asked about a "REMINGTON 750 in .35 Whelen" which is what I referred to genius, keep laughing if it gets you through the day. I am quite familiar with the heritage and history of the whelen thank you. The Remington 750 on the other hand I think came out in 2006. I have owned 4 different .35 caliber rifles and have actually hunted with them and taken game up to the size of moose. I laugh when I read posts from kids who say they saw "a guy shoot a guide gun at the range once" and then proceeded to pass judgement on its game killing capabilities and compare it to a .300 ultra mag and a .50 BMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Either the opinion of just a kid or someone not much brighter.

DM! Does the Epps place still build rifles? I know what you mean about the old gun shops. The ones back home when i was a kid were always full of old guys telling stories. You could look for ever or just spend the day shootin' the breeze. The one was owned buy a real good gunsmith. Though i have to addmit i like the colledge girls that work at the ones here. They are killing my wallet though.

The thing that i like about the old gunshops is, there's still the old time feel about the place, and still some "old stock" hidden away in the cornersof"old time" drawersand gun cabinets thatthose old shops had with old posters on the walls...
They do have some newer clothing ect. too...

I don't think so.... When Mr. Epps passed away, the business was sold to one of his employee's who runs it with his wife. They also haveseveral employee's helping them out...

Hey DM! I had a yupi gunshop experiance last night. I asked to see a Pearl handled Super Blackhawk. This kid (who makes a point of telling about all his firearms) tells me how much he liked this Redhawk. Then when i asked to see a Model 7, he grabs a M77 compact. Well, atleast he got the general size correct.

RE: 35 Whelen
It's a tough situation. Folks want to buy there guns ect.. as cheap as possible, so the gun stores can't afford to hire anyone other than a "body" to fill a slot....
