question about new rifle purchase
i' m considering buying a new rifle , the choices i' ve came down to are the new remington 673 in .350 rem. mag. , or the new browning lightning blr in .358 win. , both of these rifles would be used on larger game ( sika , fallow deer , elk ) . both have feature i like , the remington has the laminated stock , the browning is a fast handling lever action , both are short brush-type guns , the browning' s shorter but, the remington has the power advantage. i' ve only gotten the best quality from both makers and my most recent purchase was just a little over a year ago .
which do you think i should go for ??

Quilly-Actually the 35whelen and 358winchester offer very similar ballistics while the 350remington offers a bit more velocity than either of the others.So if he has a 35whelen the 358winchester would offer no advantage making the 350 remington a more logical choice.

thanks guys but , after talking to my dealer , my hunting friends , and the most trusted hunting idol in my eyes ( a.k.a. my 80 year old , and still actively hunting grandfather ) . i' m leaning towards the remington 673 in .350 mag.

If a guy has a .35 Whelen, he doesn' t need a .350 Rem. Mag. OR a .358 Win. He may need a shorter, lighter, easier to handle rifle, however. In that case, I would suggest a 20" barrelled Browning BLR, which has handling speed, power and accuracy all in one short package!!
