[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1613087, member: 69192"] I have a 35 Whelen, built it after I found the .338 WinMag too much gun/recoil for my liking. The 35 Whelen is a necked up 30-06 case to 35 caliber. There's also a 35 Whelen Ackley Improved that adds a bit more horsepower to the round. From your posts you seem a bit undecided, I suggest that you take your time, look around and wait until you find that particular rifle, that you have been looking for, with your name on it. For that big hunt that you have described, I would suggest [U][I]nothing less than the .338 WinMag[/I][/U], you could easily load the cartridge down to modest loads that would be good for plinking and target shooting. I've read some posts where the .338-06 was suggested. You easily could download to the ballistics of this cartridge; or even go lighter. There's plenty of high-end configurations/models of rifles that are manufactured for the .338 WInMag, components are readily available anywhere, as is the factory ammunition. There's a tremendous selection of LR bullets to make those long shots to choose from. [/QUOTE]
