.350 Remington mag

[btoeps74]

Anybody here shoot or hunt with the .350 Remmy? I have been playing around with the thought of picking one up to add to my addiction......... er I mean collection. lol

I've taken elk, moose and black bear with mine. It shoots a 200 grain TSX ~2750 fps. It is a great cartridge that works wonders on big game.

The 350 Rem Mag is a hammer on those big cedar swamp bucks and black bears. The 225 gr PT is an excellent bullet to use.
I have the ballistic twin, the 35 Whelen and have taken many UP bucks along with a 250 lb bear. I only had 2-3 blood trails to follow, they were very heavy and very short.

Go for it, you will enjoy having a 35 cal hammer.

I am about to shoot mine. Got it a while back. I tried like hell to reload the 200 gr TTSX but no way. Way too long fpr the short case. Sold them. Loaded the 225 Sierras at 2.8" They are 1.3" long. The 200 TTSX are 1.9" long.

Luckily the 200 AB is 1.213" Can not wait for them to come out!

Don't have one, but think it and it's smaller sibbling the 6.5, were ahead of their time and are under appreciated. I also think this is another case where Remington snafu'd themselves in a marketing strategy. Had they called those rounds anything but a magnum, when the magnum craze was growing, I think they would have faired better. It was time when short actions were also comming on in their own right, and had they called them something like 350 and 260 Short Belted, or something catchy would be better from a marketing standpoint at the time. Just when they put Mag in the title, most all expected more. But with a case capacity of the 06, there is only so much it can do, and it certainly wasn't going to compete with the 300 WM, 7mm RM and .264 WM, in terms of velocity.

I had wanted one for the longest time in a mohawk 600 platform.

However things change and the focus and interest levels divert.

I wanted that for stomping around for black bear especially in the thick stuff.

Never happened but I still bounce when i hear 350 rem mag.

A 700 Classic or a 673 is on my 'long' list of things to find.

 

[PJGunner]

Well I have some .358 Win. and .35 Whelens so I'd need a .350 Rem. Mag. like a hole in the head. Do I want one? Oh yeah. Say in a 20" barrel with a Mannlicher style stock, serious class there. 8)

I could see a .350 Rm in a Ruger International!

Buddy of mine hunts mule deer & coyotes with his .350 Rem mag. Still working on a case of factory 200 gr ammo his uncle bought with the rifle, many years ago.

Oh, and there's no doubt, it's plenty of rifle for either deer or coyotes. Plenty...

That 350RM was chambered in some Rugers as well. I kinda think a guy could do well to pick up a Featherweight and with just a little work, make a very sweet 350. Scotty

 

[btoeps74]

Thanks for the replies guys. The 35 Whelen is also a great caliber high on my "to buy" list but right now have not seen any guns chambered in it for sale that I like. I have always liked the 673's so figure why not get one. Been looking at this one but think the price may be a bit high. Used with a Burris scope (full field II) for $800. You guys think I could find better deal than that?

btoeps74,

That seems to be about the going price, with the scope and rings. Obviously, if you wait long enough, another may come by.

You could grab this one and add your own accessories for less, I suspect:

These are becoming fewer and fewer on the market, and the better deals are going to disappear quickly - and more quickly next year than this year, as time passes. At $575 starting price, with zero bids, I'd reach out to the seller and see if he'd be willing to sell it outright and stop the auction. Might get it for $600, and that's about $20-50 below the price of the one with the Burris scope, if you scoped it identically. Or you could scope it your own way (or not at all) and have whatever you like, at a better price. It's all about choices. It's certainly not about need...

The stock on the 673 is the nicest looking one Remington has ever put out IMO. They should also have been made before Remington started having quality control problems too. Good luck in finding one for yourself.

 

[DrMike]

Agreed, the 673 dubyam pointed out could likely be a better buy still. You will likely want to replace the shroud and possibly replace the firing pin for faster lock time. Pillar bedding is not a bad idea on these particular rifles, either.

 

[SJB358]

That would be an excellent timber rig, with some legs too, if needed. It was a toss up between the 350 and 35 Whelen when I was shopping, I am glad I have my Whelen, but the 350 is a great choice as well. Scotty

 

[BK]

Whoa, who is this SJB358 guy, and what have you done with my buddy Scotty?

I'm going to have to mildly disagree with you there, Gerry. The original Mountain Rifle is #1, the Classic is a close second. It is a cool stock, though.

BK,
The Mountain Rifle stock is pretty sweet too, the CDL looks nice as well.
