Just put this back together for the final time. Traded a customer out of this pre-war Model 70 that had been rechambered to .35 Whelen. All I did was re-stock and rust blue it. Wood is bastogne. Now all I need is an elk.

Great looking rifle!What type of open sights do you have on it?I`m trying to find myself a stainless rifle of some make to have a 35 whelen done in,with some open sights on it.Ruger with the old style zytel stock and put a leupold 1.75x32 vari-x 3 on it to finish it off.

Thanks! The sites are original.

Beautiful Rifle!

Bill,

If you're convinced that Happiness is a SxS, There are many members who would be happy to receive this boltgun.

Just joking.

Lovely rifle and you're a lucky man. Good hunting!

Roger,

where are all the scratches on the metal I would expect your gun to have?

Great looking classic pre 64. Do you know the original chambering? Was the rifle rechambered and rebored?

.35 Remmy. It was only re-chambered as far as I know.

Really nice Bill. That ought to give a big bull an attitude adjustment.

One "classy" looking Whelen. Mags

Are you going to scope the rifle or just hunt with the irons?
I have a pre 64 '06 barrel spotted, that's been shot out. Who would rebore and rechamber to a .35 Whelen? Do you have any idea of the cost?
I like those pre war guns.

Very classy looking rifle Bill... Should be a joy to hunt and shoot with.

I find the .35 Whelen an intriguing round. I've never had one but would like to try it out some day. I've heard much praise of that cartridge.

Sendero,

Jim Dubell/Delta GunShop can provide the service you are looking for. I dont know the cost. He posts on AR from time to time. I will be putting a Leupold 2.5x8 on the rifle this summer.
