35 Whelen.

[Baz460]

Hi.

I have a Rem 7600 in 35 Whelen, and am wondering if I can get it rechambered and rebarrelled to 308 for a reasonable price.
I don't want to reload anymore and factory ammo is to expensive, although it is the best pig rifle I have ever owned and has great knock down power with the 220 SP's , I just want the ease of buying factory ammo at a reasonable price.
Cheers Baz.

might be cheaper to trade it on one already chambered in 308...

Probably about $600-700 for a rebarrel back to 308

sound about right....maybe a bit more,

chuck it on abused guns, they're asking for generally MORE than what some stores are selling them new,

Call it a long ranger sniper model.. with improved tactical slide,worth a couple hundred more...nah, joking.

$1350 for a new Rem, means mine is worth about nothing LOL. I've still got a couple of hundred rounds loaded for it, so will blast them off and have a rethink.

Cheers Baz.

7600s are cheap new. I'd trade the Whelan in and buy a newie.

not nothing..... check abusedguns, timber stock?

[Baz460]

Yeh, It was made around 2003 and has a timber stock and heavy duty stainless barrel, I guess it's worth something.

Cheers Baz.

[<<Genesis93>>]

tell you what Baz, you're right.... its worth nothing... but I'm feeling kinda generous - give you a hungie, and I'll even pay the postage on top of that generous offer

Pork!!

Agree with what others have said. Would be more economical to trade it in. Maybe even get a bit rash and get a Howa bolty and your changeover would be ******.

Pork!!

That what you're throwing in as a 'sweetener'??

7600 is about 7600 times more fun.

i have not sean a 35 whelen in a factory gun in years we call what you have a big woods gun great moose and bears gun i would trade or keep it and just buy another gun
if you let it go you will miss it.

[Wm.Traynor]

I'm thinking a bit like wrenchman. Keep it for old times sake. It's not like you'll be raided for having an arsenal.

[sandgroperbill]

I would keep it. I could see a bad case of seller's remorse in your future if you were to sell it. You could always buy a second hand gun in something a bit smaller, or even a ruger american compact or something similar to accompany it. That way you end up with two instead of rechambering one. You can buy cheaper ammo and just reload occassionally forthe whelan

[Baz460]

After reading all your comments, I will keep it and buy a Rem 7600 in 308 and swap the Leupold Pig Plex and mounts on to the new rifle. You guys are right, what I would get for it would be bugger all, and as I mentioned earlier, I still have a heap of ammo loaded for it.

Cheers Baz.

Good man for keeping it

[Baz460]

Good value, just don't like the pistol grip.
