Chambered in .35 Whelen, this rifle represents a short-run variation produced from 1988 to 1990, adding scarcity to its appeal. The 22-inch carbon-steel barrel sports a 1:16 twist suited to heavier .35-caliber projectiles.
A high-polish blued receiver houses Remington’s famed three rings of steel locking system. The bolt body and follower show engine-turned jeweling that both reduces friction and adds visual interest.
Iron sights include a ramped front blade (hood absent) and a folding adjustable rear. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and the included two-piece bases with 1-inch rings make optic installation straightforward.
