[QUOTE="WV338, post: 1521058, member: 41835"] I just built a 35 Whelen with a 22” standard contour barrel. It is light weight and very accurate. I’m shooting a 200 grain Barnes TTSX and I was amazed how quickly it took down a 5x5 bull at 236 yards . The shot was a double lung and he went 20 yards and fell over dead. When it comes to recoil I find that the 35 is just a big push. In fact I was able to watch the elk through the scope when I made the shot. I’ve owned 7mm Rem Mag, 300 WSM, 270 WsM, and 30-06 and they are all great cartridges but truly love the 35 Whelen and it will be my go to rifle for elk. [/QUOTE]
