.35 Whelen done.
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. Cool

Roger,

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

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.

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.
