Section 6: Rifles Subject: Remington Model 8 Msg# 1057600

| I no longer have that rifle, I scratched the itch and let it go on to the next guy. It was fun to shoot, but its accuracy wasn't impressive. And, a gunsmith warned me that when you pulled the trigger it was a lot like holding a hay baler against your shoulder what with all the mechanical parts that had to function before the gun would shoot again. He was right, and that was part of the gun's charm! | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Is this still in your collection? One of my wife's uncles owned one of these and used it to successfully hunt northern California deer for decades. Image below from Allan Tarvid - Image Title: photos Image Info: This old Remington Model 8 is in .35 Remington caliber. It shot between 3 and 5 MOA and a lot of it got into motion when you pulled the trigger. A neat, fun old gun.  |
