[QUOTE="truck driver, post: 960262, member: 49660"] I know what you mean. So many people underestimate the the 35 Whelen because it has been down loaded to accommodate weak actions for so long it has become a red headed step child that is looking for recognition. The shooting public has been magnum-sized by the all knowing gun rags for so long that the standard cartridges are over looked an get a turned up nose when mentioned. In a Remington CDL with 24" barrel they can be amazing. The Remington has a long throat and allows for higher pressure that most rifles don't have, similar to Weatherby. But I'm not here to convince any one any differently about an old cartridge that just keeps getting the job done. My Remington is a Classic with 22" barrel and I don't expect to get the top end velocities that the 24" CDL gets.:) After looking for something to fill my needs I saw the new Vortex Diamond Back HP series scopes and picked one up in 3-13X42 for my needs. Thanks for all the help. [/QUOTE]
