Welcome to a New Era of Remington.
Yet another irrelevant, unwanted cartridge that when compared to other .35 caliber rifle cartridges, offers no significant improvement or reason to acquire for the average hunter who probably already has a rifle or two in this class. Remington is ignoring the fact that the ammo shortfall still exists; adding another cartridge to the mix is certainly not going to improve supply availability. Why don’t you get off your butts and start producing 35 Remington ammo for the tens of thousands of starving Marlin lever guns??
Can’t wait for the pistol. .38 special, .357 Magnum, 360 BHMR, “To infinity, and beyond!”
