when i wanted one, there were none available. however a new in the box # 1 in 35 whelen came along(not rsi). if i didn,t have the 35 whelen i would be a buyer.
i have a blue ruger #1-S in 35 whelen with a 22 " barrel, its a good shooter. but the star in 35 whelen is a rem 700 CDL in the whelen cal. that shoots inch and a half three shot groups or better at times at a honest 200 yards.
to be truthful, my father and two brothers and i milked thoses cows. there never seemed to be a day off, and it was a job. after my service i never went back to farm work and was not sorry when my father sold it.
i had four lions pretty close in SA in 2015 and slowly replaced the solids with soft points in my CZ-550 in .375 H&H. but they just walked by at about 80 yards.
i,m glad that i live where i can own any rifle i want. to live where things that can and will eat you or your children with out a large caliber rifle available to protect you is sinfull. my own large caliber rifle is a CZ 550 in .375 H&H.
you have not lived untill you have spread cow shit on a very windy morning, useing a old john deere tractor with a hand clutch. my two brothers and i had brown care hart looking coats. we milked 100 cows by hand then i was 11 years old. farm work was very hard then with not much money in it.
i worked on a farm from 1949 to when i was drafted and a child labor lawyer of today would have had nightmares about the conditions we worked in every day.
