I have a Marlin 336 in 35 rem. I love the rifle and am happy with my choice. Chose the 35 because it's a bit different. It's a helluva shooter! Ammo is easy to come by although not as easy as 30-30. With buffalo bore ammo, it's a 150-200 yrd timber elk hammer.
My dad opted for a Mossberg 464...
Love my 7mm practical. A VERY efficient cartridge. It'll hang with a 7stw, 28 nos, or a 7 rum. Plenty of brass out there, and easy to load for. I'm shooting 180 vlds @ 3200fps with Retumbo. 28" Benchmark 1-8" twist barrel.
I own both and love both calibers. I had my 6 creed built because I had a donor short action. Was originally gonna go .243AI but didn't want to single feed or spend the money at the time to open the mag up and go with a Wyatts magazine.....(At the time... It now has that...) So I thought what...
I'm shooting a 7mm practical, and with a 20 moa rail, using a VX-3i LRP 6.5-20 scope. I'm able to get to 2000yrds. I've only got a minute and a half left on my dial at that distance.
The Yukon is twice as heavy, which isn't (heavy) than the chugach. Both are rated the same "waterproof ness." I chose the chugach for packability and for moving. Didnt want a "warmer Yukon system." I've never been cold in the chugach though. Even over east hunting elk. I just layer different.
I agree with Alex. I've commercial fished now for 26 years. From the Oregon coast, to the Bering Sea. Kuiu raingear has been the best. I've owned a lot of brands of gear through the years. Loved my sitka cloudburst but it snags bad. Customer service told me too bad, so I bought a set of the kuiu...
