this is weird, I was just contemplating the same thing

With it's dimensions a bit reduced from the 308 family. I was musing on if it would fit in the CZ 527 platform, however I don't have one in hand to establish magazine length. Since they are available in 223, the mag length would be at least Saami, but it needs to be about .250 longer for proper fit of the 35.

I was thinking of it, not only as a light rifle, but as a swell kids rifle. The cartridge has bullet mass and frontal area, something the 6mm's and 25's don't. Sure range is more limited but in the youngsters role, or even ours if we are honest with ourselves, how much do we really need? The obvious advantage is reduced loads with handgun bullets. Year around rifle from small game to kids practice to full house loads.
