Good afternoon.
As the subject says I am new here. I have a Model 8 that I inherited from my father 30 years ago. He used it for deer and bear hunting. I have not used it and it just sits in the gun safe.
The guns home is now in the western Florida Panhandle near Eglin AFB. The only hunting I have done since moving here 43 years ago is bird hunting. Have not done that in many years now. Eglin is an excellent place for deer hunting. Hunting with dogs used to be popular, but I think it has greatly reduced. When I retired from the Air Force I owned a feed store and sold lots of dog food to the deer hunters. Age and other activities just seem to take the time so I do no hunting or shooting now.
It is getting that time in life where I need to start thinking what I am going to do with the guns I have. My son will take a couple pistols, but he in a wheel chair and only shoots pistols.
I have several boxes of old Remington ammunition and several of the rare stripper clips.
I will be interested in reading what people have to say about their Model 8's on here.
George
