Remington Model 8 (in .25 Remington)
This video from Forgotten Weapons delves into the history and mechanics of the Remington Model 8 rifle, designed by John Browning. It explores its production run from 1906 to the 1950s and its availability in four proprietary rimless calibers: .25, .30, .32, and .35 Remington. The description also highlights the introduction of the Model 81, which was mechanically identical but featured a heavier forestock, semi-pistol grip, and was chambered in .300 Savage. The video contrasts the Model 8's complex long-recoil action with the Winchester 1905/07/10 series' simpler direct blowback system, noting both rifles are largely overlooked today despite their historical significance and use by hunters.
