Adam,
I found a 1988 Classic in Birmingham at the October Show and it is quite a thumper. It has a 20 inch barrel and the metal was in great shape but the wood was dinged and scratched from use. I refinished the wood in a nice satin oil finish (a lot of fun removing the poly), glass beded the action and trigger guard plus free floated the barrel.
The gun likes 57grains of AA-2520 and the 200 Rem RN bulk bullet at 3.108 OAL, it shoots sub half inch. Unless I decide to go up north or out west, a 200 is just fine for Bambi around these parts. I figure the 200 would also work great for your PA deer. Anyway, it is a load I found that is easy on loading and does work pretty good for a 35.
