I do also have a Rem 8 in 30 Rem but surely don't use the POS anymore..but I do have a 141 Pump in 35 Rem that is a fun gun to carry and shoot. The 8 just has too many things going on at one time..Not the most reliable. The 35 was last used to take a deer in Feb 2001 by my father in law shortly before his death. He hunted deer most every day..but we did have a few extras and he was 97 or older..LOL

When Winchester came out with the Mod 70 in 1938, I have shot a few of the originals ans it's forerunner the M54. Not quite 1940's, but I've aquired a sizeable stable of 1951/52 M 70's. I also got matching ones for my kids. They are , in my opinion, superior in quality to any thing made today! (that's gonna start an argument) Have had or still do have most of the cals.
Just my own opinion.Still haven't found a 7MM Mauser.....did see one....
