I would like a 2x, please. Please let me know how to pay.

How many shekels might one need for one of these?

That's one good looking rifle!

Obviously shipping charges didn't deter him.

That is one odd lookin' butt stock.

I've bought a couple of these things where the exterior of the barrel was heavily corroded. Didn't seem to affect function. As long as they could go back and forth in the jacket they worked.

Bandersnatch

Could you post some pics of the whole rifle? We like pics.

Bandersnatch

200 gr bullets and IMR 3031 and you can't go wrong. Also, the Hornady Lever ammo shoots just fine out of these ole girls.

Bandersnatch

I figure if I have to shoot at a running deer, there are worse choices than an 81.

Bandersnatch

Howdy do!

I dunno, might work.....

Not a bad haul.

Verra nice!

I like the movie generally, but one thing does rankle. Because of a rather limited budget the movie makes it look like Hamer took about a week to track down the outlaws, instead of several months.

If memory serves, EUU is October 1949.

Huzzah! I love a happy ending.

How naughty!

Not a problem. Just lending a helping hand to a fellow fan of the mighty 35.

I love oddball things like this and I'm just tickled pink that it shoots as well as it does. I'd like to see what it does with 117 gr fodder.

I have one like that. Built in 1926. Maybe they were feeling festive that month at the Remington plant?

Bandersnatch

Greetings all, I just purchased my first Model 8 in 35 rem. I haven't received it yet but want to be ready when I do. My question is, other than the $100 plus remington stripper clips I see on e-bay, what other clips will work. Thanks, Rigby16 If one simply must have a stripper clip, the 35 and 300...

Bandersnatch

I'm no gunsmith, but I'll take a look.... Seriously, if whoever built this used 300 Sav springs I don't see why it wouldn't work, provided that the barrel is thick enough. I'd be very wary of a rechambered 25 Rem tube, but if he used, say, a Savage barrel to do the conversion then you are probably O...

Bandersnatch

I've had issues with Graf's brass in 25 Rem popping primers out at the second firing.

Bandersnatch

Just my view: The bolt raceways, obviously. The bolt head, including the cam pin tracks and locking lugs, and the extractor. A dab of oil in the action spring tube, that's the one behind the bolt. This speeds up bolt movement noticeably. Not too much, as you don't want much oil getting back into the...

Bandersnatch

Yes, they do weigh a tad more. Personally, for hunting purposes, I like the extra weight. It helps dampen the fairly stout recoil and, for me, it was rather comforting. The gun felt solid, not squirrely, like some light weight rifles can be (I'm looking at you, AR15), and didn't move while on the re...

It does make it easier to use the scope. Thanks.

I'm liking the dark brown color.

Those are some fine looking deer!

Bandersnatch

So, my plan this year was to take four rifles to the fields and take a deer and maybe a pig with each one. The Rem model 81, the Winchester 70, a Ruger 77 in 22-250 and the AR15 in 6.5 Grendel. I got close. As you see I got three deer with the Winchester and one with the 81. The AR15 accounted for t...

Last week of January. Time is running out. But what is this? A doe walks across the road, right by the scent wicks and not one minute later this guy steps out and takes a whiff of scent. Bad move.

Worked quite well. Keeps the head over to the left about an inch and that makes the scope much more comfortable to use.

Ooh la la!

What does one use instead of photobucket?

Very pretty.

I have a 14 in 25 Rem. Something I learned early on is use only round nosed bullets. Anything else will hang up inside the feed system and you have to disassemble the gun to clear it.
