Hello Everybody,
Today I fired my Model 8 in .25 Rem for the first time in about 4 years. The old girl shot very well once I figured out where to hold on the bullseye target. So I guess I got inspired to join your fine forum after having been a lurker for several years. I know it is considered bad form to not post pics so will do that soon. It looks fairly original except for the buttplate. Someone force-fit a plastic Remington buttplate. It looks like it originally had a crescent plate but I will let the experts here judge that once the photos are up.
Next to it in the safe is another Model 8 in .32 Rem. It has the original crescent plate numbered to the gun and a tang sight. Stock looks to have been refinished but I don't think there are any extra holes. This one really is unpleasant to shoot with that dang crescent buttplate.
Anyway, thanks for allowing me to be part of this forum. Here's hoping everyone has a wonderful Christmas.
