Color matches well with the rifle.

That's a beauty! What did it weigh?

If pigs can be pretty, that one is.

I am guessing about 200 lbs? Am I even close?

Pushing it. But I did not weigh him.

Yep, the 35 Rem is fast becoming my favorite hawg cartridge. It is a hammer.

35 Rem is a very underrated caliber. My dad uses it for deer, but it will take out hogs just as easy. Nice kill.

Fine old cartridge !! LOng used for deer and bear .

Ahh, a calico rooter! Been a long time since I seen one of them! I can almost taste the pork chops!

Good shooting and nice pig!

This 'ole Remington model 14 in .35 Rem has taken it's fair share of deer & hog.......all with one shot!

Congrats.

I picked up an old Marlin 336 in 35 Remington last year. It was made in 1976. Took it to GA on a pig hunt and shot a 90 pound sow. Really like the 35 Remington

You on the Marlin Owners forum too huh?

I love my .35, great gun/caliber

Years ago I had a Marlin in 35 with a long barrel, pistol grip and 1/2 magazine. It was rusty on the outside so I cleaned it up and refinished it. The bore was bright sharp and shiny.

I killed a few mule deer with it and it was always very effective. I wish I had never sold that old rifle. It was a real good tool.

About 125 lbs. is my guess.

I LOVE shooting the spotties!
