New Lipseys M77 .35 Whelen

[F. Vaccaro]

Reg26, congratulations that’s beautiful!
Bet we’d all like a range report when you can get to the range.

@Just Gina had hers come in yesterday at R&R but still waiting on ours to arrive (the one I'll pretend is mine @Bob Nelson 35Whelen

We also have one in .22 Hornet and that new little 6.5x55 Ruger International ordered

My order came in today!

Looks great! Now the trick is to find a gloss black scope to match the sheen of the barrel. I have a .280 AI African that I have been searching a scope for, but unfortunately I can only find used ones for sale.

I gave up on trying to find gloss scopes. I have a couple of nice super grades and some Sako deluxe rifles that unfortunately have to live with matte scopes. Oh well, first world problems, I guess.

Those are beautiful rifles gents! I am working on procuring one myself... I'm on "the list." It will fit in nicely with my bevy! I am a huge .35 cal fan.

Looks like you need another! This will be my first but will join my 9.3x62.

I have African's in 9.3X62 and .375 Ruger aswell... but with these Whelens they did it right; 24" barrel, blued bolt handle and NO obnoxious muzzlebrake!

This is my first Ruger, but agree with all you said! My 9.3 is a Sako.

@hoytcanon
People with class and intelligence own 35s, 25s, or 40 cal and over.
The peasants own othe so called hunting calibers.
The good thing is you don't need good looks if you have brains and class.

The .35's "hunt" better than advertised... I have taken truck loads of game with .358 Win, .350 Rem Mag, .35 Whelen, .35 Sambar and a new .358-375 Ruger... this latest is a beast!

 

[Certus]

Goodness that Whelen is gorgeous!

@R&M FIREARMS
You need to get some 358 Winchester rifles as well. Me thinks they would do OK.

That 358 ruger would be a beast.
What velocities is it giving.

The .358-375 Ruger is getting 3140 fps with the 225 Accubond and RL-17... it's a snappy son-of-a-gun on both ends... but I like the thump... it can really reach way out there and still carry plenty of energy.

 

[Deepfork]

My original intent was to sell it, but once I saw it there was no chance it was going home with anyone but me. So now I have 3 35 Whelens ..... Thanks Bob!

 

[209hunter]

I am so envious of you guys who got these rifles! I want one of these in the worst way, but I need to sell a rifle first in order to fund one.

I already have a M77 tang safety in 25-06 and a MKII in 30-06. Owning a Hawkeye in 35 whelen would be the perfect addition to my collection.

@hoytcanon
Man that's motoring. 200fps faster than the Whelen.
She would get the 280 swift moving and the 310s would be up around 2,700fps or better.

I could load heavier but this was specifically made to reach out with an effective load... the 225 AB is about perfect for that.
