Has anyone heard of a Henry Boker Remo Popular? Just wondering if anyone knows about this oddity a bolt action 12 gauge shotgun. I'll take some pictures in the next couple days.

Its says "made in Germany". Just wondering if anyone has heard of this before

These were made in the post-WWI period for low cost export sales.

Another German gun widely sold during this period was the Geha, a shotgun based on converted G98 rifles.

Yes I've heard of Remo Popular but not Boker, happen to have one in a take-down.
Mine is a single shot model built on a 71 Mauser, not certain but some may have been built on the 71/84.
As stated there is a 98 Geha, 98 Hard Hit and a 98 Remo., which all came in 12, 16 and 20 gau.
Have yet to find a 20, must be quite scarce as are the 98 Remos in any gauge.
Have some pics, if someone will post. --- John303.
