My rifle scoped is over 9#, but thats OK with me, I dont plan to pack it and on the bench it helps with recoil.

The new Ruger 35 Whelen measures 0.6265 at the muzzle.Does anyone have one to measure the barrel diameter at the muzzle? I am mostly curious as the muzzle on my Ruger No.1 S medium 24" barrel .35 Whelen measures .675", and I wonder if the new bolt gun is the medium weight or standard.
TIA!
Thanks very much!!The new Ruger 35 Whelen measures 0.6265 at the muzzle.
I would be interested in a 9.3x62. If you decide to pass it on, let me know!I have the African still in the box, but passed the test with a 5 shot group in 9,3x62, and back in the box, My right hand and age is getting worse at handleing recoil, so I will probably put it on the classifieds, Its a classic..Im having a REm 721 rebored to a whelen, hope it works but I can handle my 30-06s so for,
@FryeguyI think that a lot of us will be interested in the 9.3 if you decide to sell it!
I just left the range with my 35whelen Lipseys, (yeah I shot it, couldn’t take setting it back) and it is getting very close to getting the final load/loads wrapped up. I am liking it so far!
Gotta love a rifle like that!
found one! Actually several to pick from. Got mine in the other day and it looks niceI gave up on trying to find gloss scopes. I have a couple of nice super grades and some Sako deluxe rifles that unfortunately have to live with matte scopes. Oh well, first world problems, I guess.

My Lipseys .35 Whelen showed up the other day too. Sweet piece of work!
I have the lipseys African in 9.3x62, 280AI and now the 35. The 9.3 is scoped and I think that will be the next one to take the trip over with me. That one is dressed with a vari-x 3 I had on hand that was gloss.That's interesting, so they take new scopes and cerakote them gloss black? Retaining the gold ring too... that is a nice option for the guys that want a traditional look. Would be interested to see pictures of your African 35 all dressed up for the dance.
There is one spot on the scope that if held in the light at the right angle, you can see some slight dimpling, like where the finish didn't get sprayed heavy enough and lay flat, but I'm a perfectionist, so I'm not surprised that I picked it apart until I noticed some minor imperfection lol.
