RE: Rem 700 35 whelen
Im looking into buying a Rem 700 in 35 whelen. How much should I spend
REmington has jacked up their retail prices so much in the last 2 years that I can't even predict dealer selling price anymore.
function ResizeTextArea(){
// return;
var TextArea = document.getElementById("body1");
var sX = document.body.clientWidth;
var sY = document.body.clientHeight;
var sppp = 350;
if (TextArea){
TextArea.style.width = (sX-200>=450)? (sX-200) +'px' : '450px';
if (sY=300)? '270px': (sY-sppp

35 Whelen is an excellent choice from deer to moose. Between my wife &me, we've owned or still own many of the 35 Whelens that have been made by the major manufacturers & even one old Eddystone that was rechambered in 35 Whelen.
Here's my advice fwiw, if you can find the Remington 700 (1988 version) I'd pay $500-600. In my opinion, that's the one you want first. My second choice would be the newer CDL version that just came out, that can go from $550-$700. I'd go to gunbroker.... you can get one for about $550 if you wait. If you are looking to go cheaper, I'd get the 7600 pump model. Maybe $450 or so. A tougher version to find is the Ruger 77 version... that will be more expensive too.
If you can grab the 1988 for about $550, I'd get it!!!!

How much are they selling it for up in CT?
You don't see many used Whelens on the gun racks down here in VA. I saw a used '88 in West Virginia a few years back.... It was pretty used up & they wantedsomething just over $300 for it.
