Any .350 Rem Mag Fans?

That 358 looks about ideal dimensionally. I really like the heavier barrel contour on it too. It would appear you have a style. Which Leupold is your favorite?
If I was forced to choose a favorite Leupold, it would probably be a VX-3 2.5-8X36mm. I also really like the VX-R series, now discontinued.
 
Hello AH Folk...

I have been carrying .350 Rem Mag's while guiding and hunting for four decades plus... I have always found that it really punches up with performance on game. It has also done a pretty decent job of stopping bears on a few occasions. I have had several over the years, a Rem 673 and several Ruger Mark II's... my current is a Ruger M77 Mark II Stainless in a laminate stock, that I load 250 Partitions over W748 for.
Are there any other fans out there? What are you shooting and what are your preferred loads.

Nice bear! I don't have one but I always thought it would be a real nice cartridge in a BLR

I was sad to see the VX-R series go. That 2-7 w/dot was an awesome midrange optic for my AR. Can’t beat the magnetic flip caps that come with the Leupolds. Such a slick optics package.

Any reason you don’t choose the VX5HD 2-10x42 for your backup/guide rifle, rather than the 2.5-8 and 2-7 with the smaller objectives? Just curious about why the pros choose specific options.
 
Post some pics... those Sambar are beautiful animals... I imagine you hunt them similarly to our elk?

They are stalked in thickly forested mountain terrain. It's a very challenging hunt. This was the stag I shot last year, my first good one in 16 years of trying. We walked in 16km to this fly camp for a week, and I shot him on dark on day 2 with my Ruger .350RM.

Nice Stag Tim. They certainly are a hard animal to stalk. Good to see you still have the 350RM (y)

That's why I stay in a caravan park in a nice dry cosy heated cabin and hunt the fringe country of farmland. Meat is more important than antlers to me.
But someone I got to hunt the property because I couldn't help the farmer bad mouthed me something fierce and I lost the property. Now him and his mates hunt it. Never again.
 
I like so much since has born.The same power of my beloved 9.3 but in 20 inches barrel lenght.Maybe the first short mag round ...good look and I can imagine it for all around,when allowed ,for DG too by premium bullet always in a stainless steel rifle and polymer stock.Special x Alaska !

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
