grand old ctg

The .35 Rem is a grand old ctg, same age as the 'o6, it just does not have the following.

When levers and pumps were the rage for deer, the .35 was very popular.
THE deer rifle of my youth was a Rem 141 pump in .35. Most thought it a better killer than a .30-30 or.30 Rem due to bigger hole and heavier slug.

Gradually the old timers passed and Rem replaced the 141 with the 760, and the '06 took over. There is not a deer, black bear or average hog that will not succumb to a well placed .35 Rem slug. It's only limit is a loopy trajectory ,making it 150+ yd or so ctg, not a problem for the woods hunter.
