Ringneck,
I was afraid that it was a 14. Ouch? Let's say that the muzzle break on the 35 is not a decoration.

The 14 inch 35 Rem and 357 Harrett barrels can be pleasant to shoot and very accurate. However, they can also be the very worst of the factory chamberings for recoil. The recoil level can reach 36 pounds, without really trying (an 06 govt ball round in a 1903A3 is 18 pounds).

If you only have experience with a 14" 223 in a TC, I would suggest that you get a set of Pachmeyer grips and a recoil-absorbing glove, like a Past or Action glove. As you do not reload, you are talking full factory rifle loads, without the opportunity to start with a reduced load and work up, not much of a learning curve.

The good side? I think this may be where you learn to reload.
