None that I am aware of, I do have however my H&R/NEF Handi Rifle that started out as a .357 Mag and is now a great shooting .35 Remington. My old Marlin 336 SC in .35 Remington has for many years been my all time favorite deer rifle. Many of my friends now use 336's in .35 Remington as well. After I got interested in Handi's and became addicted I knew I had to combine my 2 favorite things while out in the woods, single shot Handis and for derr the .35 Remington cartridge. I am not the only one that has had this simple rechamber and modification to the ejector. If you are interested go over to the H&R section and ask, I am sure you will get an earful, from those that have them, Quickdtoo and myself, and from others that promote the .357 Max instead of the .35 Remington. I have one of each, a problem with liking Handis, they start to multiply in your gun locker  ;D. Honestly the .357 Max is also a great deer, hog, and black bear round, but to me I had to have my old favorite .35 Remington, and am glad I do, the round has always performed much better than it's paper ballistics would lead you to believe it should, and it is amazingly accurate for what most consider a woods gun. In a Handi loaded with Spitzer style bullets it is absolutely amazing!!!....<><....:)

TC has made them in the Contender and likely also the Encore.

I've never followed the contenders that much, I know they have a .35 Rem, but I think it is only in a handgun.

One place I have not yet checked out are the older single shots, like the Winchester 1885's and Remington rolling blocks.

I don't believe Winchester ever chambered anything to the .35 Remington dunno about the Remington rolling blocks. The easiest way to a single shot .35 Rem is the TC either Contender or Encore. They did make rifle barrels for the Contender in it and you can still get them thru the Fox Ridge Custom Shop for a few bucks more than a standard factory barrel.
