Very nice rifle...and you do not find deals like that anymore.... It would have been a great deal at $350. Please post your experience on these two forums also:

I don't have the book handy, but I believe with a four digit serial number 16xx, your gun was made in either 1906 or early 1907, probably 1906. Someone else will come along later that can confirm or modify my guess. Remington didn't start using production codes on the Model 8 about 1921. At first, t...

I am not aware of any M91 factory modified "sporters" and I would not put an ounce of credence in any such notion, there being too many permutations of "Bubba" to count. But there appears to be some well placed persons who have entertained the idea that Remington may have experim...

We'd dearly like to see some pictures of an F.B.I rifle here and over at our forum for Remington Autoloaders and other vintage semiautomatic sporting rifles. http://vintagesemiautorifle.proboards105.com/

According to John Henwood's book, "The Great Remington 8 and 81...", you can find the "25-35" marking on rifles made between 1907 and 1915 and as high as serial number 36056. But they started using the standard "25 Rem" marking in 1907 too. They apparently used both mar...

I do not think this conversion was a good idea. The Model 8, as you well know, is a recoil operated action. That fat barrel jacket contains springs which absorb the recoil and return the bolt to battery after firing. There is a vast difference in energy between the .30 Remington (1,540 ft/lbs) and t...

Wonderful Heirloom! Hang on to it, learn all you can about it, and keep it in good condition.

The 22 may be a Winchester Model 1890 .22 rifle.

I think that the .35 Remington bolt and the .300 bolt are the same at least I think the .300 Savage bolt face has a 35 on it.
