was surfing around and found the model 8/81 remington. what a cool looking rifle.
Back off! There mine, mine all mine I tells ya!
This is my favourite Deer round now for hunting the bush in Ontario! I have a Remington Model 8D in .35 Rem, 2, soon to be 3 FN Browning Patent 1900's in .35 Rem and a Remington Model 14A in .35 Remington. Just need a Remington Model 30 Express in .35 Rem, Remington Model 81 in .35 Rem and a nice Marlin 336 in .35 Rem and I should be happy!
35 Rem is a mild mannered hunting cartridge that seems to work pretty well - in woods hunting scenarios especially. Took a bear with my 35Rem Marlin Marauder using 200 RN core-lokts a few years ago and reported that here - http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/639064-35-Rem-Marlin-Marauder-proves-it-s-a-capable-hunting-arm
This is my 35 Rem Marauder;

noticed this calibre has a loyal following over in the marlin forums. i imagine it would be a really nice mild deer cartridge.
