35rem pics

[n2t]

Have been messing with the sighting system on my 35 rem for a couple years now. Tried factory buckhorns, 3-9x40 scope, williams peep, and think I have settled on a 2.5x20 fixed power scope. Going to go out soon and see what the accuracy potential is today, but I'm hopefull this is the answer to my sighting questions.

You look a little small for that big of gun what is that creature?
I have that same gun but don`t shoot it much, my son has dropped a few deer with it though.
I put a Williams peep on mine.

Lol it's a hairless cat, I was using a williams, but having issues with diff loads printing so far over and under each other that I had to get 3-4 new front sight blades to compensate. I figured the fixed scope would fix that issue.

n2t,

Never mind the rifle. You've seen one Marlin, you've seen them all.

That cat ..... is well different. I've never seen good clear pics of a hairless cat before. Is it male or female? And how old is it?

Oh best hope Hobie don't see these pics, nudity is prohibited on this forum

Be nice now Joe

hey the Weaver 1x-3x is on sale right now at Midway, I just got one for my 35 Rem.

Have to face facts, iron sights don't make it anymore. But with the Weaver rings I can detach it and go back for a little nostalgia and a little eyestrain.

I hope you're speaking for yourself, cos you ain't speaking for me. This here is a scope free house.

I think it's about a 12 week old female hairless. Gf has been saving up for it for quite a while. I can still shoot irons pretty well, I'm just not a fan of beads it seems, I have trouble placing them consistently without a lot of effort on my part at 100 yards. I can do it..but it's very difficult for me. Now with my .22lr and it's basic buckhorns, I can print 1" groups at 50 and 3" groups at 100 fairly regularly. That said, I was able to put 3 shots into 2" at 100 today with the scope and that's good enough for this rifle. I've ordered some sierra 200grn flat tips and we'll see how they do, since I don't tend to load this gun hot (200 grn ftx at 1900fps, 200grm sierra at 2000fps, and 180grn spears at 2200fps) they should expand perfectly.

The elusive chupacabra. I think that might do it on the sights. Mine has a 3x Weaver.

Joe, I WAS speaking for you, I was trying to save you from becoming an anachronism. Scopes are a 20th century phenomenon.

At 52 I'm just entering the phase where my eyes are playing tricks on me with iron sights. It's not just the focusing thing, either. Unfortunately my dominant eye is not the one that sights. The muscular strain from this makes it difficult to stay focused (pun intended, but it's actually pretty descriptive). If I used my dominant eye I'd have to shoot right handed. If I try that there's a good chance of being a menace to aviation.

A scope is more like playing a video game, a nice pretty picture, some crosshairs and push the button. At my age I'm starting to earn the right not to do things the hard way, that's my point here. Plus the fact that Weaver 1-3x's are on sale at Midway. That's the REAL point here.

Just a quick 100 yard group as I got back from the range, took a couple sighting rounds and shot this off sandbags.

Very cool post!

A 35 Remington, and a hairless cat.

I, too, have never seen a hairless cat. Looks almost
like an alien in one of those pics where the eyes catch
the light just right. ( No offense intended, there!)

I have a Williams peep with a firesight on my 35 Rem,
but I'm think of changing to a Skinner blade on the front.
The front bead is minute-of-deer accurate; but I like a square
post - too many years of pistol shooting!

Can't argue with your grouping, though - the combination
is definitely showing promise.

Just for the lazy guys like me who would rather see the picture than have to click a link...

n2t, if you want to post them so they show directly, and don't mind using photobucket to resize them, just resize them to <1000 pixels wide/tall and insert them using their 'IMG code' option under 'share'. You'll be entering something like this in your post, only with "[" brackets instead of "{" ones...

If you already knew that, no offense intended, but some of the other folks might not have...

ANYWAY - good shootin' The .35 Remington is one heck of a round - not new enough to be glitzy, and not old enough to have a hyphen, so I think it's under-appreciated by many as to the fine intermediate-power rifle round it is.

By the way - do you like that rubberized sling...? I have one and really like the way it keeps the gun from sliding off your shoulder if you're carrying other things or whatever.

I have a couple of those old 35 remmys. The 336A is fixed up with a nice older Lyman receiver sight and small gold bead front which still works fine for my aging eyes. On a newer 336 carbine with micro-groove rifling I put on a 2-7x Burris with their "ballistic-plex" reticle. Temporarily, just to test loads, you understand. That proved to be such a fine shooter fixed up that way I seem to have left it there. It's got a fair chance of being my elk rifle this year.

"There is nothing so permanent as a temporary structure."

My place is living proof of that concept..........

No issues on the picture tutorial, I just gave up on resizing them all and figured links worked. I'm pretty happy with this rifle at this point. I think I've found the combo I'm going to stick with, it's not boltgun, but I feel it can take game cleanly out to around 200 with the current setup. Time to get a few diff bullet types and see what it likes, I'm going to try sierra 200grn bullets next, it likes hornady 200grn ftx but I can't expand them, seems to be really inconsistent with the 180grn spear offering. If all else fails the old remington coreloc is more than enough for this round though.

What rings and at what height are you using with that setup? Talley?

Thanks!
