I am absolutely baffled by the reluctance of the manufacturers to produce rifles in .35 Whelens and the .358 Winchesters. I accept that they did not sell well in the past, but I struggle with the notion that they would not sell in today's market. As is evident from the success of the Guide gun, Outfitter and Big Timber Carbine, markets do change. As you read many of the very well thought out posts on rifle boards, it is very easy to conclude that these two cartridges, with properly constructed bullets, are ideal for large North American big game hunting. I got around this inexplicable drought of 35s by having a .358 Win built on a stainless steel Model 77 Ruger with a laminated stock. However, I would still purchase, in a heartbeat, a Ruger model 77 and/or a Winchester model 70 in stainless steel if the manufacturers would produce either one or both of these classic chamberings.
