Shot the new 35 Whelen this weekend and.....

[redneckway]

try shooting the handi in 500S&W with the 500gr bullets, killed 2 scopes and a red dot

[quackerkiller]

Unless his price has went up, he charges $175 for the brake.... Which is well worth it!

[Dux Be Us]

Porting the barrel should help, alot...I hate butt pads due to increase of length of pull. I would shoot my 444 all day with bare butt stock if I could afford it...go figure. A 3.5" BB outta the Nova is the hardest kickin cannon I got

The 35 Whelen makes the Benelli feel like a pellet gun.

I've got a TC Pro Hunter and don't notice the recoil.

Same here.

Really? Shooting 225 gr Nosler ammo and it ain't that bad out of my Handi rifle. Hornady either. I'd rather shoot my 35 Whelen than pattern turkey loads or sight in a 45/70 or 300 Win Mag any day. I actually enjoy shooting mine...

i shoot the same bullet in mine and honestly i cant tell it kicks no more than my 270.. sure it aint a mind thing ?

It MIGHT have something to do with the fact that I've been shooting a .243, 7mm-08, and a .308 (it's a BAR) for the last several years. All I do know is that it's not much fun to sight in. Once I get that sumbuck sighted in, I'm done with it until I pull the trigger on a deer.

Same here.. I don't care for the really big bore rifles.. I'd much rather hunt with my 243 or 7mm08 than with my 30-06..

I love my .243 and .270 WSM but if im in the woods, i'd much rather tote the big bore, i just fell in love with the simplicity of the single shot gun. the .35 whelen's recoil to me is not that bad. my brother shoots the 45-70 which i really like, he had a muzzle break made for his and he really likes it.

Single shots are nice.. The beauty of them is that you can get a 22" or 24" barrel on the gun and because you don't have to deal with the extra length of a reciever the guns are still really short and easy to handle.. I love my TC 358 Win and tote it to the woods with me. Its the big brother of the 308 and is really a mild recoil when I load it with 180grain bullets..

358 Win is a 30-30 necked up to .358. Not even close to the punch of a .308. Execellent choice for deer hunting though. Same with the .35 Remington. However you can no longer get the barrels from T/C chambered in these calibers. They closed their custom shop.

You right! I guess I was thinking bout the heret. But either way the barrels are no longer available from T/C. I got a contender in the .35 remington that is a sweet shooter for deer! Plenty accurate out to 175 yds! Light and nimble too!

My .35 Whelen Prohunter kicks like a mule. No bullchit. With the Limbsaver, still worse than my 300. Just sayin...
