I think you will be happy, I've been piddling with mine a little, bedded the action and done a little file work to take pressure off the magazine box, put in a ernie the gunsmith trigger spring..BTW if you don't already have one of his springs I suggest you order one, they are around 8 bucks and make a big difference in the pull + super easy fingers only install. I bought one of these rifles in 6.5x55 when they came out and it has a home for life..good luckI have one of the Hawkeye African in transit. I had hawkeye in the special run Grices did a few years ago. It shot fantastic. Sold it like a fool. These African Hawkeyes look like a perfect set up for a 35 whelen. Can't wait to get it this weekend and put a few down range.
WOW getting a new cartridge with new chamber and rifling in an older rifle for $300.00.Judd, if you don't find the 35 Whelen you want, or if the price is too high, there is another option. Have JES Reboring turn any .25-06, .270 Win or .30-06 into a 35 Whelen for you. Costs about $275. He's done one for me, and has my 2nd one in his shop now. The first one shoots sub 1/2 MOA with Barnes factory ammo.
His website isn't much, but his machining is top-notch. Best of luck in your search,
