.35 Remington success

[DerekR]

I got this rifle, my first centerfire, in 1976 at age 14. It has scored more deer than any other rifle I own. Ammo isn't available at Walmart for $9 anymore, but I have dies and tons of brass. Both of my sons killed their first deer with this same rifle. Light recoil and a blood trail that is impossible to miss. I have other rifles I love, but I could deer hunt with only this one for the rest of my days and not feel disadvantaged. The pill was some factory 200 grain Remingtons.

My opening day 2009 Buck:

I have one as well and I love it. I just hope I get to bag something with it some day

[nemhed]

Congratulations, nice buck!

[O.S.O.K.]

Outstanding! Congrats and it makes all that much better that it was that levergun.

[Old Savage]

Congrats - great rifle and deer.

[doorgunner]

Great deer! It's really difficult to not like the old 35 Remington. What a great caliber and rifle.

[Lobo]

YES!!

I have a similar 35 Rem....the first rifle I purchased (about) 1972.....right at $100 if memory serves me. If I were to pare down to just one rifle, it would be the one I'd keep.

Congratulations on the buck!!!

Nice deer. This is one caliber I have yet to load commercially because it works so well as is. I am experimenting with different bullets and weights but I doubt I'll improve performance for what it is used for now. At best we'll offer an option for using this caliber on something a little stouter.

[AJMD429]

It would be a serious candidate for the 'only rifle round you really need' in the U.S. - hope to use mine on a big buck someday....

[allhands]

Great shooting!!!! I tagged a buck with my 35 rem about 2 years ago, and then sold the rifle to my buddy 'cause his son liked it and wanted it. Wish I had it back!!!!!!!!!!

[Bill in Oregon]

Nice buck! Hope to get a chance on one myself with my Remington Model 8 in .35.

[kimwcook]

Congratulations! Nice looking buck.

[BigSky56]

Good shooting. danny

[Bogie35]

Good job!

Mike, it would be pretty cool to see a factory loaded 240-250 grain load. Maybe around 1900 fps. I would buy it immediately.

Very Nice!!!.

DerekR, stop living the lie! Anybody that hangs on every word a gun writer says is gospel , knows the .35 Remington is just as inadequate as that lousy .30-30! There no way you could a taken that deer without having your hunting partner with the .577 Tyrannsaur shot it for you.

Great buck, I'd be lucky to get a 2 pointer.

P.S. Don't show this to a gun rag they'll try to deny it ever happened or it's a twenty year old pre-inceptor wearing wildlife days!!!
