I bought a 750 in 35 Whelen back in the spring. It was the first one I ever laid eyes on, and the looks just punched my buttons.
I have shot it several hundred times, getting close to 1,000 rounds through it. All handloads, 225 & 250 grain bullets, most over a chronograph & grouping for accuracy. The rifle has not been difficult to get along with. I have yet to find a bullet it hates, but does seem to like the Hot Core 250 grain and the 225 grain Partition. Ditto for powders, I use 4064, RL15 & 4320 for the most part. Did get som nice groups with 748, but they were hotter than I thought they should be.
Fixing to see how it does with 200 grain bullets over the next week or so. My old 700 Classic did a great job on several whitetails with the 200 gr Hornady Spire Point and there is a good chance we will be allowed to use a rifle for the fall 2007 season here in the southern tier of NY.
Remington assembled a rifle in the 750 that is a very soft shooter, it is far less jumpy than the model 7 in 308. So far, no feeding/cycling problems. Also worth mentioning, is that it does not seem to be real demanding as far as cleaning. Found I was cleaning far more often than necessary in the early days. Net: my confidence is growing with this rifle. I took it on a moose hunt back in Sept., and it did it job just like it was supposed to.
Only real complaint, the
R engraved on the forearm wood. Makes me think I should change my name to something that starts with a R.
I have not seen any real "in depth" articles on this mode riflle. Have you? Where & when?
