I was passing through Eugene/Springfield Oregon the other day and thought a stop at the new Cabela's would be fun. Kinda dissappointed in their lack of items compared to their catalog. But, they did have 6 of the Rem. 8's and 81's in their gun rack. They range in price from $399-$599 with one being ...

I think I have a sight located here in town. Thanks for all the leads. You guys are great to work with. JimfromBend

OOOPS.....My mistake. It was Leverevolution 35 Rem. I saw at the local Bi-Mart store. Oh well, same questions. I was just thinking that maybe with the more aerodynamic design on the bullets the old 35 might just get a little better trajectory out of the round. I guess if there's a feed problem with ...

Has anyone tried the new Hornady Superperformance 35 Rem. ammo in their 8's or 81's yet? I'm going to give Hornady a call and get some feedback from them but does anybody have a thought on this topic? Just curious....

I'll try and get some pictures together showing the concern I'm writing about. It may be that it's put together wrong internally.

Sarge756, The lever rotates and locks the sight O K but what I'm experiencing is with the sight unlocked and in free mode you rotate the sight to the up position and it moves into a sort of detent. But the detent position is past staight up. It seems to go to far before it slips into the detent. In ...

So I've got a model 8 that looks like the one in the web site heading picture. It has a lyman rear sight like the one in the picture. Trouble is that when you swivel the sight up, it falls into it's detent past over center. Is that adjustable? It looks like a guy might be able to loosen up the lock ...

WTB rear sight assemblies for model 8/81. 2 needed. Thanks, JimfromBend

ctgodog,
Been meaning to get down to your neck of the woods to do a little gold panning. I just retired last Sept. and want to get into that looking for the yellow metal. Best investment right now...guns and gold!!

imfuncity,
Yes, I'm out here on the west coast. Bend, Oregon. Would'nt it be nice if the friend you talked about had the rifle I'm looking for! Do you still have contact with him? Maybe if he doesn't have the rifle he may know who does. How would I go about contacting him?
Thanks, JimfromBend

I do appreciate all the good input from you 8's and 81'ers. I'll try and get some pictures together of the 2 rifles. An old man that was like a grandfather to me used to hunt blacktails with either a model 8 or 81. That is why I wanted to get one. I tried to acquire his but was about 2 years to late...

I recently picked up a model 81 Remington. I've got some questions about it. The serial number is 24171 and the barrel is stamped on the inside collar as a 300 sav. In looking on the bolt face i see 35 stamped. The previous owner hunted with it and shot 300 sav. ammo out of it and it functioned and ...
