Does anyone know much about Remington 750s? Is it possible to rebarrel a 30-06 or 270 to a 35 whelen with just a barrel swap? Or would there be more involved?
Any Remington 750 gurus?

If it’s anything like a 742 or 760 series of rifles then yes. I would advise against it though. Those things were garbage to begin with; not worth the time, effort, or money.
If you are after a cheap .35 Whelen get a Savage 10/110 or Remington 700 adl and throw a .35 Whelen barrel of your choosing on in.
If that doesn’t satisfy you and you need a medium bore semi auto, the HK slb rifles in 9.3x62 can be found on GB for under 1500. Once in a while a Browning BAR will pop up in that calibre as well. And if that still doesn’t do it for you Criterion keeps threatening to make M1 barrels in .35 Whelen.

I would absolutely not consider rebarreling one, although in theory this may be possible. I had a 7400 and it was the worst rifle I ever owned. Unreliable, hard-kicking, and inaccurate. Also suffered from a wandering POI. The trigger sucks, and the receiver is a pot metal piece of garbage.
I would look for an used BAR in 35 Whelen or 338 Win Mag. Still not a perfect rifle, but better than a 740/760/7400.

Marlin 336 or the likes.
As stated, all those series of rifles are trash. They either cycle or they don’t.
