I am considering trading my Churchill Highlander in 7mm Remington magnum with a Bushnell Banner Dusk to Dawn 3x9x50 for a Mauser 98 sporter in .35 Whelen without scope or mount. Ammo is about the same in price but the .35 is not nearly as available. I found most suppliers to be out of stock and I don't think the local WalMart carries it. I think this rifle with the Leupold VX-11 that is on my late F-I-L's BAR(another thread) would be an excellent large game rifle assuming I ever get to hunt the larger game like elk or moose. I know the Highlander is awesomely accurate with 150 grain bullets but I just want something a little different. I just can't decide. I know I will be happy with either rifle.
