Looks like you have a good arsenal for every occasion. But do you have a Randall knife for each situation?

Wayne,

Welcome to the forum, I see it's your first post. I just picked up a 35 Rem barrel for my Contender. A friend of mine swears by this caliber in a super 14 barrel. I'm hoping to get a B&L 2x mounted that I've had on another barrel this weekend and head to the range.

Welcome aboard Wayne. Pleased to see you post. For those of you who do not know this man...well...sorry! Wayne & I are going to co-write an article for a future edition of "KNIFE KNEWS". He's the real-deal, folks.
Glad to have you bud,
Best, Capt. Chris

Thank you for the warm welcome!!!
Many decades ago,I just had to have a Winchester 94 "thuuty-thutty" just like on the TV westerns.
If I was smart,I would have purchased a Marlin 336 Texan in 35 Remingotn. Nothing wrong with the '94 but the Marlin is so much better and easier for take down and maintainance.

I had a 35 Remington bbl for my T/C and was totally satisified with it. 16 inches with shoulder stock. Another bbl I had for the T/C was one in 444 Marlin,16 inch bbl. Trust me,touch that off in the light weight T/C and you really know that the bull did it in the buckwheat.

One of my bucket list trips is to take my lightweight canoe and paddle the Everglades. On my hip will be my Taurus Public Defender in 410/45 LC.

For those of you that don't know me,around me,things tend to "occur".

I am also known as Top Dog

I know what you mean Wayne about the 444. Similar experience with my .45-70 barrel. It's like holding a tiger by the tail. That was the primary reason to step it down to 35 Rem. I'm looking forward to shooting it. Good luck here.

Warren,
If you load your own,then you can load down a bit for the 35 Remington in your T/C for some enjoyable practice rounds.

I have found that the 35 Remington is a grossly underrated round. It is very accurate and capable of being a very good hunting round at about up to 75 yards.

Think I'm a ways off yet to handloading Wayne but I agree it makes for some better range rounds. I don't have the time right now to start on that project. Maybe after I accumulate some brass. I just completed mounting the scope and boresighting. I should be able to get on paper and get dialed in quickly. I'm starting off with Hornady 200 gr FTX factory rounds and I'll let you know how it shoots. Looks like a nice bullet though.

Also much better for scope mounting too.

Love my Marlins.....30-30, 44 Mag, & 35.....all hunted with their own stories for over 45+ years. BUT, also love shooting & hand loading my TCs,, 45-70, 44, 300Whisper, 309JDJ (444 sized for 30 cal.) & others; various muzzle tamers with the right load "ease your pain".....as do the 1hole targets....AND 1 shot downed game. Guess I'm committing to my new Glock 10mm for this fall though as I'm feeling so tickled with the accuracy, added optic, my carry rig, etc. We'll see.
Welcome Wayne!
You any kin to Dieter?

Living in In. My son and I hunt in woods full of multi flora rose blackberry and raspberry bushes. They are thick with only shooting lanes. The longest shoot I take is 50 yards.I use a 458 Socom,my son uses 50 Baewolf. We use the AR platform,they have excellent stopping power.
