Sir, It appears that this rifle has the scarce rifle type buttplate. Some members here may not know how rare that plate is. Looks to be a good solid 25 REM. M8.
Someone here should buy it. I’m only buying checkered model 8s now. Otherwise I would buy it myself.
Thanks for your time

I have to agree. I’ve hunted deer in every caliber of M8s and M81s. The only time recoil was any problem for me, was testing hand loads at the bench in the rest of the year. When a deer is in your sights, running or standing,you don’t notice any recoil.
