Probobably the reason that gun looks as good as it does is because it hasn't been shot much in 61+ years.
Me personally I wouldn't shoot, I'd rather pick up one of 56,000+ other Model 81's that don't look anything like that. What a find!

Great responses Ken. jarrodeu, the thing I'd look out for is a drilled & tapped receiver, this is usually not desirable unless you require a scope. Purchasing a Model 8 or an 81 is just preference really. I personally like the grip angle of the Model 81 over the 8 (even the semi pistol grip 8). ...

Re: Model 8/81 Functioning
The proposed ballistics for the FBI 81 in .30Rem were to replicate the ballistics of the 351 Winchester round. And yes, after failed testing with a standard 81, Remington replaced the 30Rem recoil spring with a 25Rem recoil spring and the rifle functioned properly.
