When I read that my first thought was the .350 Rem Mag. They sold it in a realatively light laminated stock version that was brutal to shoot. The .35 Rem is a whole lot better idea if you ask me. Looks like a sweet gun.

I've got a 14" Contender barrel in .35 Rem. Great round! Remington now offers a 150gr load in .35 Rem. It's a flat shooting hard hitting son-of-a-gun! I've shot several boxes of them. I've also loaded every thing from a 115 9mm to a 35 cal 250gr spitzer by Sierra in it. My great grandfather bought a Rem Model 8 when they first cam out in .35 Rem. And that is what my grandfather grew up shooting. It was actually the first simi-auto rimless rifle cartridge ever made. The Model 8 got stolen when my Dad was a teen. So I've been looking to add another Model 8 to my collection.

Your Rem 600 is a very great and clean looking piece . I had read they had made a few in .35 Rem . And that would be the perfect brush gun for deer to black bear, or slightly larger . It would do a number on hogs. No need to ask how I know .

Now that's a good answer ....

I too have a 14" Contender in .35 Rem. Think I bought it in 76 or 77, maybe 78. It's my answer to anybody that asks if I'm recoil sensitive . It's a brute! Don't really know how to expalin it ... maybe like a .35 Rem is to a .44 Mag like a .44 Mag is to a .357. To be totally honest, I seldom use the .35 Rem bbl. For hunting I usually use the .44 mag bbl. Have a .223 bbl that rareley gets used as does the .357/38 bbl. .44 is my hunting favorite.

The .35 Remington was introduced in 1906, along with the .25 Remington, .30 Remington, and .32 Remington.

You are correct Phillip. Seems that, and the breif family history I gave, would give away my age . My Grandfather was born in 1914. And my great grandfather Berry came to Texas to live from the Carolina's in 1901, and married a Collier who's family had been established here for much longer than that . Great granddfather was a hunter, finance investor, and later a preacher. He's the one who bought the rifle when they first started producing them. They were originally loaded with a 200gr Lead round nose. And you can still find ammo like that today. They were also the first rifle adopted by various police/law enforcement departments when they were finally allowed to carry more than a shot gun and revolver. The other calibers are almost obsolete. But the .35 Rem lives on today .

Edit; I hate misspellings .

The famed Texas Ranger, Captain Frank Hamer, used a customized .35 Remington Model 8 with a 15 round magazine when he hunted down Bonnie and Clyde.
