I got a great deal on a Encore with a .35 Whelen barrel. Not sure if I should keep it or sell it. Need help

I say keep it for sure!  Ive been wanting to get a chambering in .35 Whelen but still cant decide if I want to do it on a Mauser action instead of the T/C.  Ive done a bit of research on the Whelen and must say it is quite an impressive round!  You will be quite happy with it, Im sure.

The whelen is an awesome general big game round.  IT is quite possibly the best all around elk/moose rifle that I can think of.  I have a 35 whelen Ruger 77 and have really enjoyed the caliber.  If you don't want to keep the barrel I can think of a few other people that would like it.
