Is it true?!!!!
« on: November 22, 2005, 06:43:44 PM »
I was reading the "Handi vs. Encore" post in the Single-shot forum and someone stated that NEF was bringing back the .35 Whelen for '06...is this true?!!! :shock:   Anything else coming out for '06?

Thanks,

Jim

Yep it's true. But it will more than likely be brought back in a 22in. barrel.

:-D   Thanks guys!  That is such GREAT news!  I had given up on finding a reasonably priced one on the used market and almost broke down and bought a 7600 instead.
  A 22" barrel??  That seems kinda' short for a Whelen, isn't it?  Thought they'd be closer to 26" to get more speed out of it.  But hey, I am not complaining! :-)
