Rem. 81- 35 range report
Seems to be shooting day, took the Rem 81 out for a few shots, used the peep and got a pretty good group.
Sights on different guns are all different, can see some better than others that`s what happens when ya start aging and it`s no big deal just getting out and shooting is what counts.

Lenn, I have had several Model 8s and an 81 over the years. Had them in .30, .32 and .35 and liked them all. Never could find one in .25 Remington with a good bore at a good price. Wonderful woods guns. Boy, the light, the leaves and the breeze in your video sure do spell fall, don't they?
Re: Rem. 81- 35 range report
Thanks Bill, yep fall is in the air won`t be long but that`s ok I like winter.
Yep the 81 is a neat rifle, this is the only one I`ve ever owned, never had a 8 but would like to.

I enjoyed that video. That is a beaut of a classic rifle. I know what you are saying about that front sight being hard to see at our age.

Cool rifle Pitchy....and in a super cool cartridge........that's one gun I've never owned as we seldom see them in this area, mostly because Pa. has always been a "manual action" state. ---6

Re: Rem. 81- 35 range report
The 8's and 81's were fairly popular up here, but always in .35, which is held in high regard in these parts.
See a lot of 336's in that chambering too, along with Remington 141's.
