Back in the day, it was the 35 Whelen. I rebarreled my 30-06 in 1987 and gave serious consideration to the 35 Whelen. When Remington announced the 35 Whelen offering in 1988, I jumped on it.
Today, there are a few odd balls that I desire....

If I load for them, they aren't odd! Otherwise, I'd have to confess that I've grown "odd" over the years. Surely, that can't be the case. I'm building a 9.3X64 Brenneke. Does that qualify? i would enjoy owning an 8X68S RWS and a 7X64 Brenneke. I've loaded for a 7X 61 Sharpe and Hart, and I wouldn't mind having one of those as well.

I have had both the 7X64 and the 7X61 S&H. The Brenneke is basicly a .280, so you aren't gaining anything over what you already have other than the "cool" factor (I know how important that is to us old guys). The S&H would never shoot the kind of groups I expected and the fact it was a belted magnum sent it packing. My 338-06 is the former 7X64 that was rebarreled on the Sako 75 Hunter action.

I think he will want to stay at the range and shoot steel. But I'm never against going to Greentop!

Joel,
I have loaded for the 7X61 S&H and for the 7X64 Brenneke. I know I would gain nothing, but you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned the "kool" factor.

Fotis,
Fascinating cartridge. Sufficiently rare in North America to be exceptionally interesting.

Should have bought a Mauser in it while stationed there. You can tell it is an oldie by the 14* angle shoulder (1939) but that is easily fixed to 40*. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Iv'e always been impressed with the 284 Winchester, wouldn't mind having one in a bolt action.
My Dad has a custom built 8MM built on a 98 Mauser Action, Walnut Stock, checkering and all. He has owned that gun for 50 yrs. Our Family has shot a lot of whitetail deer with it. Maybe someday I'll own it. Either me or my brother will. I just love that caliber.
