Things that make you say Hmmmm

[bullet]

Amen to that, Bullet. I figure that I will croak sitting at the range shooting my .340 Bee with a smile on my face.

I love the 340 Bee

 

[Oldtrader3]

Yup, me too! Here is my Mark V .340.

 

[bullet]

Man, it sure has been fun, I think the 340Wby and the 358 Norma Mag are just about the most perfect big time gun for big time game, wonderful cartridges and not quit over the edge for those of use who do not like breaks or mind some recoil. Yes, Thor's Hammer indeed.

 

[bullet]

double post sorry

Mine came with an Accubrake and shooting 50 rounds at a sitting from the bench, it is nice to have. Either way with the brake, it is a rifle that I wanted for years and years and finally bought one to relplace my .338 WM. This caliber (and the .358 Norma) will certainly lay elk down in their tracks, if you can shoot.

Either one will lay down big tough plains game in Africa as well, and you are not under gunned when face to face with a Brown Bear in North America. Now I can't go 50 rounds at the range nor do I want to with a 340Wby with no break, 20 rounds I keep as my limit and I can still maintain good accurate shooting techniques up to that point. NOTICE: I SAID UP TO THAT POINT :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :shock:

Nice rifles fellers! Those are some very nice 340's!

I think I have a cool 35 in mind for my next rifle.. I am going off the reservation a little..

So, how long are you going to leave us hanging. Personally, I would like to build a 358 Norma Mag

I like the Norma as well Mike. I am thinking it will be a 35 Newton or 358/375 Ruger. Leaning towards the Newton though, as well, I just wanna. No real big reason, but I like Mr. Newton's early rifles and since I couldn't ever afford one of them, I would rather just build my own..

His 30 and 35 Newton's really seemed FAR ahead of their early 1900's vintage.. Sorry, just like them. Not totally decided yet, but I have the donor, just gotta get the other pieces taken care of first.

This is what it looks like to me with the 225 AB

Why not a 35WSM or a 35 RUM?

 

[SJB358]

Why not a 35WSM or a 35 RUM?

Jake, no good reason really. I thought of the 358WSM and the thought crossed my mind on the 358 RUM as well. Both of those would be awesome as well. If I was to go full length, it would be a 358 STA to be honest. Just has more old school cool in it. They are all cool to a 35 nut though.

AMEN!! That's it, those of us who have turned into 35 nuts!!! :wink: 8)

 

[SJB358]

Yeah, I have no reason to like them more than the 338 other than it is bigger.... Plus, nothing has run after getting the good news from any of the 35's..

 

[bullet]

Well said, indeed nothing has run after being shot by the 35 Whelen I use to own or this 358Win as of yet.

 

[nvbroncrider]

It's nice to be different. I don't like running with the masses. I will eventually have a unique collection.

 

[BK]

For me, it would all depend on the donors. I would love to find a CRF M70 in a WSSM for a .358 WSSM build, but a .358 Norma or .358 WSM would be awfully cool also. Heck, I could go for an M70 Whelen.
