Have had this 81 in 300 Sav for several years and was on the lookout for a scope for it. I wanted it to fit the rifle and not overpower it. Found this Williams Guideline 2x6 variable with duplex reticle. Not a lot of history available on this branded scope but I would think probably made in Japan du...

Sarge756

Welcome..As you might have noted if you have reviewed old posts...We love Pitchers.We look forward to seeing your progress. I too do a bit of restoration of the old ones and am here for a conversation and exchange of ideas any time. PM with an email to you. Joe

Sarge756

Someone else bought it. Just confirming to you that your purchase was a very good buy. Will do the checkering job on mine when caught up.

Sarge756

Yes, a good job of clean-up. Not that you don`t already know you got a heck of a deal on this one I`ve included a link to one that sold recently that was a 30-30. It ,unlike yours, had been drilled for a scope mount and had a recoil pad installed with both being detractors. My interest in it was tha...

Sarge756

With the "bargain basement"price you paid for it you certainly have room for some accoutrements. Popularity of the 336 means that your search won`t be long. Williams and Lyman currently produce the receiver (peep) sight for it . Listings on Fleabay for both, with the Williams the cheaper o...

Sarge756

Not turning this into a Marlin Forum but want to send congrads to Adam on acquiring a fine rifle in a great caliber at a fantastic price. Truth be known we probably have the 336 and it being chambered in 35Rem to thank for the availability of factory ammo to feed our 8`s and 81`s. These two were not...

This is the post I was trying to remember......viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2452&p=17566&hilit= ... 2d8#p17566

OK...do a search " Wood Spacer Buffer Spring" in search box top right hand corner. Viola! It works.
Joe

Sarge756

Seems like we had a discussion awhile back re. dowel and washer spacer on early 8`s. I tried a search for it but no luck. I`m sure someone will be along in a little bit that can help you with this. Joe

Sarge756

Hopeful that the information shared concerning reloading 35 Rem was helpful. It is good to have communication with our neighbors near and far.You gained some reloading knowledge and hopefully "we" gained a new appreciation for some things we may have been taking for granted. In keeping wit...

Sarge756

Stampings can be on the bolt or the band in front of the receiver.

Sarge756

The 25`s are the most desirable of the different calibers. In the condition you described I don`t think you would be sorry that you bought it for that figure.
Joe

Sarge756

We`ve had this subject come up in the past as to whether our old guns will stand up to higher pressures and velocities than what was around way back when. Often the questions concern Hornady`s Leverevolution ammo and whether it is safe to shoot. The consensus has been that the FN`s,8`s and 81`s are ...

Sarge756

The year of manufacture of the Model 8 you looked at was 1909. If you press the "Home" button and select topics from the pages you can read all about ammo,dates of manufacture and other items of interest about these rifles. Joe

Sarge756

Nope, the guy at the Gunshow may have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express but he doesn`t know what he is talking about. The chamberings for the model eight that share virtually the same ballistics as those offered by Winchester are: 25 Remington (25-35 Win), 30 Remington (30-30 Winchester) and 32 Reming...

Good info from Phyrbird. Don`t know what your level of experience is but any of the pads will require fitting to your rifle. I have installed many of the brands including those mentioned by Carl. In my experience "Hogue" https://www.hogueinc.com/accessories/recoil-pads and Kick Eeez grind ...

Sarge756

Heh ! Heh ! We know the story Cam. Not hard to recognize that location. Here are a few of the ones that go with the mags and some others. Absolute Model 8 and 81 Heaven wasn`t it ?
Joe

Glad it worked for you. Pretty painless and no cost. Please feel free to post anywhere you like. With yours and others able to recover photos it helps ease the pain of what they did.

Information passed on from another forum: If you have used Photobucket in the past to post photos either here or elsewhere then you know that they are being held for ransom.

Sarge756

You are not alone with this problem. I`m in agreement with you having gone through the same thing. Looking cool doesn`t make up for shootability. Windage adjustable Lyman 1A`s were made but have never seen one for a Model 8. Last one I had was on a 99 Savage I sold several months ago. What to do? No...

Sarge756

Enjoyed both the videos. What a great use for 2x4`s. Quiet and efficient with no screaming chainsaw whine and wood chips flying everywhere. Would have to be careful about watchin that saw work and the rythimic sound it makes as it would be easy to get lulled to sleep. Neat train. What fuel do you use?

Sarge756

Good to hear from you Pitchy ! Pretty good shooting with old eyes. Surprised that you didn`t have snow on the shooting bench . Enjoyed the video.
Joe

Sarge756

That`s Mo better. Enjoy shooting them !

From the photo of the brass retaining ring for the lens and small adjustment caps would make this as an early K model Weaver. They began production of the K`s in 1947 and with changes throughout the model run til 1984. Under the rear mount you will probably find the model with power designation. It ...

Todd, All the suggestions so far have merit. The beeswax sounds interesting.May have to try that sometime. Working on old ones you are gonna find some that will not budge no matter what. Good on you for using proper screwdrivers but youve found out why they don`t guarantee them..They are hard but br...

Getting ready for Irma! Old school Transoceanic with spare D cells when the power and cell phones go caput. Hate to think what this monster will do to the Keys and S.Florida. Can only pray it spares us in N.Florida again like Mathew last year.

Joe

Sarge756

Good news Rob. Can relate to that "Dodged the bullet" feeling. We were blessed last year when CAT4 Mathew took a jog to the east at the last minute saving us total disaster. Nothing like waiting hunkered down miles away and wondering if you will have anything to come back to.Sure put thing...

Ditto that Jack. Same thoughts as you. Hope he will give us an update and hopefully is still faring well.

All my Ex`s don`t live in Texas but there are a bunch of friends. Thoughts and prayers for them and families during and aftermath of Harvey.

Sarge756

Sad news Cam. As I`m sure all will attest that attended the 8shootout at Jacks farm,he made it memorable. Kept us laughing for two days. Not right that a year ago we got to know each other and now he is gone. Will miss his humor and contributions here. Joe

Sarge756

I too hope it solves your problem. Just wondering if it is a bit long (hard to tell from the photos). Careful grinding or filing to take it down might be the solution. Let us know how it works.

True enough Carl, I too have seen them go for more.This is a nice one. I`m not trying to depress the price on these.

You can never have enough tools and proper screwdrivers are at the top of the list. Congratulate you on having good sense not to dive in until you have some correct ones. The fixed shaft sets from Grace and Forester are a good start at a reasonable price. The Magna tip sets from Brownell`s have serv...

Jack, Enjoying all the photos and the story behind them. While you were adding to the collection did you find a progressive Dillon press to feed them?
You will need even more ammo now.
