First Model 81
Posted: Thu May 14, 2009 2:09 pm
Hello everyone,
I stumbled across this site today. Wish i had found it before I bought my Model 81, but it would not have mattered, I would still have bought it. I saw one on consignment in a local gun shop about 6 months ago that was in pretty bad shape. I believe it was a .35. I did not get it, but became interested in the model.
I did some research and the bought "The Great Remington 8 and Model 81 Autoloading Rifles" by John Henwood. I then found a very nice condition model 81A Standard in 300 savage on Gunbroker. Going to shoot it this weekend. I can hardly wait. I'll post some pics later.
I have not even put the first round through this thing and I am already looking for more Model 8 or 81's! Very nice design and I like the history of 'em.
Anyone here own or seen any of the Police Model's?
