.35 Whelen

The .35 Whelen acc barrel is now available from H&R, $85 plus $15 fitting and $10 shipping. It's a 22" barrel w/1:16" twist.

Tim,

Is that $15 fitting fee tacked on to every barrel, or is it just once when they receive the frame?  I.e. if I send in my NEF for a rifle barrel and shotgun barrel, would the $15 cover both barrels or would it be $30 (and $45 if I get three barrels.....)  If it is the later then that is bogus and they should just say it cost $100 plus shipping to get a standard barrel.

It would be nice if they put open sights on all of the rifle barrels, instead of charging an extra $47.  The .30-30 and .22 Hornet barrels come with sights for the same price as the others without them.  Aargh!   :twisted:

The fitting fee is per barrel, but IIRC, they cut shipping when multiple barrels are ordered, it's been a while since I ordered 2 barrels, but I think they charged me $15 shipping for 2 barrels, don't remember for sure, tho.

Most sources I've read say it will work for the RN, but maybe not for the spitzer, I haven't shot mine yet to find out for sure.

Thanks for the update, Tim!  Get the barrel, or wait for the rifle??? :?

Has anyone sent in for a whelen yet?

As much as I have been wanting this caliber, I should have ordered already.  But, I have barely touched my guns this year so Im probably going to wait till I get back into the activity again.  Probably towards the end of summer and into the fall.  


I still need to shoot my latest gun/scope so I should do that first, then move on to something else.

If they have, they haven't posted about it.
