Check this rig out. Pretty sharp piece of wood on it.

Beautiful work and nice wood, but not my cup of tea... a little too Bavarian for my tastes...

 

[DrMike]

That is indeed a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. It would be interesting to see a sample of what it is capable of doing.

Agreed. I like things a bit simpler.

Beautiful piece of work but someone forgot to place the bolt on the proper side :roll:

[6mm Remington]

Pretty in it's own way, but too flashy for me.

 

[RiverRider]

Very nice work, but I agree with BK. I would also insist on a Model 70-style safety if I was going to go to such lengths.

 

[JD338]

Very nice!
That one would look prety good in my collection.

I haven't met a rifle that wouldn't be nice to have. Besides they keep value better than the stock market!

Here is a nice Whelen that looks like it should go for a decent price...

That would be a great addition to any collection of 35 calibre rifles.

 

[onesonek]

Personally, I like everything about the first, and the Classic would do for me as well,,,,,,but again being a left hand shooter,,,oh well.
But then the Classic wouldn't bother me in the least being straight combed stock. As for the bolt handle being on the wrong side,,,well :wink:
Those magazined rifle's are just so I don't have to carry a second round on my wrist, or in my pocket :twisted:

 

[sask boy]

The lefty nation is starting to speak up and will soon rise to the top 8)

[FOTIS]

I totally concur.

 

[gerry]

I would go for the 700 Classic and pass on the other one but everyone had their own tastes obviously.

 

[Guy Miner]

Same here Gerry - the "interesting" looking .35 Whelen obviously had a LOT of work put into it - but it doesn't really appeal much to me.

A 700 Classic or CDL, or a clean looking Model 70, is more preferable to me.

Or better yet, a Ruger Number One!

"Or better yet, a Ruger Number One!"

I won't argue that thought,,,still one if not my most favorite rifle!
