Just out of Simple Curiosity I wonder How Many here OWN the 8 RM now?
I know it's history from introduction. The FIRST Shooting Times mag I bought had JRS' article Introducing Remington's Big 8.
A hunting/shooting pard bought 1 brand new and he had an eye problem - when he bought it. I wound up shooting it MORE than he did in load
development and grouping.
A few years later I bought it from him. I really have done 85 % or more of the shooting done with the rifle.
I have hunted it and killed deer with it JUST because I have it. ? I don't think it's needed for WT ?
ATST it's fully capable of taking any game in North America. Craig Boddington is a good reference.
How many of you guys are out there ?
