Instead (for the time being), I figured I should talk about the Remington Model 8 book &#8211; because there really is only one. It&#8217;s The Great Remington 8, by John Henwood, and it&#8217;s pretty much the encyclopedia of the 8 and 81 (the 81 was really just a minor cosmetic overhaul of the Model 8).<\/p>\n<p>As I said in the video, the $60 for the book (you can save a couple bucks on Amazon) will probably pay for itself with your first Model 8, or give you a great insight into to details of the rifle(s) you already have. Mine, for example, has a 5-screw pattern on the side of the receiver that was for a specific type of aftermarket scope mount, and it is one of a fairly small number of Model 8s chambered for .300 Savage &#8211; when Remington released the 81 in that caliber, they offered Model 8 owners the option of sending a rifle back to be rebarreled by the factory, since .300 Savage was a fairly popular round. Not things I would have known or recognized without Henwood&#8217;s book.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forgottenweapons.com\/book-review-the-great-remington-8\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.forgottenweapons.com\/book-review-the-great-remington-8\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I bought a Remington Model 8 a couple months back, and I&#8217;ve been remiss in not putting together a video on it &#8211; it&#8217;s a very neat rifle.
