I pick up a project that Dave Manson from Manson Reamers decided to sell he used his tooling for the action work and had Dave Tooley chamber it used a Kreiger barrel. Action was new purchased from Rem so never been fired he installed a Gentry safety has Williams bottom metal.

I'd seen it on another site that Dave just started posting on. I'd talked to my gunsmith about the about the barrel/action and he called Dave since Dave makes his reamers didn't want any hard feeling. Gunsmith should have it Mon/Tues it be put in a stock and test fired then decide on what metal finish might want to change bolt handle and have it fluted.

Never fired a 35 cal rifle before.

Here a picture of that barrel/action

Get ready for an elk rifle supreme. These 35s are exceptional rifles for harvesting big game, and the Whelan is as fine as they come. Congratulations, and keep us posted on the work as it progresses.

The 35 Whelen is a hammer on game. With the right bullet and load, it is a 350 yard big game rifle.
Congratulations on your project, post some pictures and give us a range report.
