Fellas anyone know if 35 remingtons every made it into bolt actions? Was wondering what might convert to do so. The issue its a unique case head size, a little smaller than 308.

Sorry I meant as in conversions, not factory. I cant find much in google at all. Seems easier to build an elephant gun wildcat than a 35 rem!

Very true Big rich. The lesser power and powder economy which was what attracted me to it, but I think the 358 win makes more sense regards conversions and brass

35 Whelen is the go, plenty of horsepower in a 30-06 case.

If you can get brass, you can convert Italian 6.5x52 Carcanos to 35 REM.....or do like I did and just neck up the 52mm case to .358 and fit a new barrel.
Bit more powder than 35 Rem, bit less than 358 Win.

35 Rem, 35 Carcano, 30-30....
