[QUOTE="Plateau Hunter, post: 769357, member: 389"] The .35 Rem is a great classic old round having come out in 1906 with another old more well known classic. I have several .35s- a few Marlins, Rem 760, Encore, and a Rem Model 81. I have killed several(12-15) or so deer with the .35 too. It is softer recoiling and quieter than most of the typical high power 'whitetail' rounds and is very effective. Inside a 100 yards especially it really puts the whack on whitetails. One of my cousins uses a .35 Marlin occasionally and he has had the same experience with great knockdown, big blood trails(if they go anywhere) and handiness in the woods. I load my own ammo using the 200g Rem or Hornady bullets over IMR 3031. I think my ammo is a little hotter than the standard factory stuff but isn't overly hot. It can be loaded with the Speer 220g flat points for a real whacker of a load also. I have a first year of production(1950 I think-G prefix) .35/336 SC with the shorter magazine tube and ballard type rifling. It is a great old rifle but was drilled and tapped at some point-if yours is pre 1956 or so it will have the standard and not microgroove rifling. I like the ballard style rifling better. If yours is not d&t I wouldn't alter it. Just get a Lyman or Williams receiver sight and go hunting. The .35 will do the job. Nice rifle. Plateau Hunter [/QUOTE]
