That's a beautiful shotgun!I think that's the same rifle my grandpa used! My dad still has it. He grew up in the Depression, so he was extremely conservative with his firearms. He grew up in Wisconsin trapping, hunting, and fishing. When he passed in the mid-90's, he owned three firearms. I now have two and my dad still has his rifle.
All three were Remingtons and all three were semi-autos.
The first was a .22 short used for dispatching animals in his traps...

Next up is his Remington 12ga used for deer, ducks, pheasants, and pretty much everything else...

He moved to Idaho in the 40's and needed a rifle, so he bought a Remington semi-auto in .30-06. No pictures of it.
The only Remington semi auto offered in the 40's was the model 81 and it didn't come in 30-06. Maybe .300 Savage?
