hey fellas , whilst surfing the net window shopping for guns i can't afford ;) , i came across something interesting in rugers lineup on the big C's website . now ruger make a compact 77 hunter with a 16" barrel :wtf: , which that barrel length doesn't do anything for me . but what is interesting is they list 358win as a chambering ! now if that was available in a 20-22" barrel i might be interested

whilst on the subject of ruger , they do special runs for lipsey's in the USA . one they did recently that made me seriously think was a ruger african in 35 whelen . absolutely gorgeous rifle. here's a review :D https://youtu.be/TaY7ljNPkJQ?si=Hm9zFwNyyUtWiRjR

I have seen the 35 whelen on a few YouTube sights and they have had to change the sights to get point of aim right but if you are running a scope it wont be a big deal and would never notice .
I like the 35 whelen i am interested my self I have never owned one.
