A few years ago I ran across a 60's era Marlin lever action in 35 Rem that was too good of a deal to pass up. Since then I have started reloading for the caliber and have really enjoyed the rifle as well as the cartridge. Along the way I have researched the 35 Rem caliber and read up on the old Remington Model 8; the rifle the cartridge was initially designed for. Anyway, of late I've been really enamored by the model 8 and 81 and wishing I had one. I think they are the neatest old rifles as well as the first commercially successful semi-auto rifle in the US as well as designed by the man himself, JM Browning. Do any of you have a model 8 or 81? If so, lets see some pics.
