[QUOTE="tmmcampbell, post: 1444404, member: 13941"] For years I have hunted the thick jungle of the Pacific Northwest for the elusive black tail. I finally found the perfect rifle and cartridge for hunting them. It is a Remington 7400 in 35 whelen. It gives me a quick 5 shots with a 250 grain bullet that is a real deer killer. I can comfortably reach out to 300 yards for that rare shot across a clear cut. IMO this is the ultimate brush gun for North America. I would not hesitate to shoot anything from grizzlies to grouse with this cartridge. It kills them where they stand. In 20 years of hunting with it I have never had an animal I shot at leave my sight. Including 2 elk in the thick stuff. It makes tracking easy. :) I have been bow hunting the last 10 years so the rifle doesn’t make it out of the gunsafe much. But I would never get rid of it. My vote is to build the 35. You will not be disappointed in the way it thumps game. [/QUOTE]
