Most of the stuff posted on this site seems to be tactical/sniper oriented, so I thought I'd bust out a little sporter flavor. This is my 700 Classic .35 Whelen, known affectionately as 'Thumper'.
It is the 1988 (I think) edition of the Classic line that Remington had going for quite a number of years. I have a Burris Fullfield 2-7x scope on it (that I don't really like), to be replaced eventually by a Leupy VXIII 2.5-8x. My current load is a 250 gr. Speer Grand Slam over a forgotten charge of IMR3031. The trigger has been adjusted to ~3.5 lbs. Future load development will center around the Nosler 225 Accubond and Partition, and probably RE15.
