In my younger years, i would have jumped on the 35 Whelen in a heartbeat!
Might still build one someday.
Today, however is not that day.
For the vast majority of my hunting the 257 Roberts can and does handle most of my hunting needs. Coyotes, deer and even black bear.
When or if i feel the need for more power, my 280 Rem is a good companion.
I'm looking to fill in spaces that i don't currently have, within the 2 calibers that i like best without going into wildcat territory.
Still on the build sheet are 257 Kimber, 250 Savage AI, 25 Souper, and a 25-350 Rem Mag.
For all that, i've been slow to get another 7mm-08, as i'd probably leave all my other rifles at home when the time for hunting comes about.
