[QUOTE="35 Whelen, post: 1936075, member: 105990"] If it had not had the 308 an 270 fired in it I would leave it as is, but it is the 35 Whelen will be a fine chose. As far as some knocking the 30-06 I strongly disagree. I have a lot of cartridges and like them all, My favorite being the 270Win. an the 35 Whelen. As far as recoil the 308 my rifle is about the same as my 2 30-06's and a number of others I have shot. The 35 whelen has more recoil then the 30-06, I have 3 35 whelens and two of them are heaver then most 30-06. I don't have a 7mm Rem. mag. but have shot some and have seen game taken with them, I'm not impressed with the 7mm Rem Mag. From what I have shot and seen shot I'll take the 270, 30-06, an 35 Whelen over the 308 an 7mm Mag any day. As for the 9.3x62 it is a fine cartridge but from all the things I have seen (including my Woodleigh reloading manual) There is so little if any difference between it and the 35 Whelen. Also from what I have found here in the USA 9.3x62 brass is more expensive an there are more 358 bullets available. You can also use 357 pistol bullets for light loads in practice or on small game. All in all I think you would be very happy with the rifle rebored to 35 Whelen and would be given your Granddads rifle a long useful life. [/QUOTE]
