35 whelen




30-06  will always be around  to get later


your other 3 will do what ever the 30-06  will do


with  easy to find ammo


35  is a step up in power  and a certain  kool  facter
when drugs are outlawed only out laws will have drugs
DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO STOP A DEMOCRAT
OBAMACARE....the biggest tax hike in the  history of mankind
free choice and equality  can't co-exist
AFTER THE LIBYAN COVER-UP... remind any  democrat voters ''they sat and  watched them die''...they  told help to ''stand down''

I am a fan of the 35 so I say go with the whelen
an unloaded wepon is equal to the same mass and volume as a rock.

Between those two, definitely the Whelan, but you do have that pretty well covered already. Looking at your list, there was one glaring hole...... no 500 S&W. It shoots cast extremely accurately and is an up close show stopper. Easy reloader also. Just sayin'.........
