35 Remington?

Sounds like a lot of us inherited them from our dads and grandfathers.
Grandpa bought mine in 1957, and another just like it in 30-30 (which my brother received)
This is a double I got a few years back.
That big pig, looked like something out of a horror film. The exit wound was big enough to put my hand in.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately...

No safety. No sling studs drilled in. Just right!
Is it drilled and tapped for a scope?

Going to shoot this open sights until my eyes won't let me anymore.

.35 Rem is a great round for deer, hogs, and black bear. Original loading was with a 200gr round nose. My great grandfather bought a Remington Model 8 in .35 Rem when they first cam out with the first auto loader.That gun was also adopted by law enforcement for use to combat heavily armed criminals. It was used to the demise of Bonnie and Clyde.
Remington makes a 150gr CoreLock for use. I've shot a few turkeys and deer with them. They are super flat shooting compared to the 180gr and 200gr offerings out there. I've also reloaded this cartrige up with some Speer 250gr SP just for kicks. Lotta fun shooting 5 gallon tin cans at 200 with those. I've also pulled some 115gr 9mm projectiles out and loaded those, and several .357 projectiles, and shot them from .35 Rem cases just for the fun of it. I do recommend for hunting deer sized game to stay around 180-200gr.
Did I say I was shooting it out of a T/C Contender Super 14? I'm also looking for a good deal on a quality Rem Model 8 in .35 Rem to add back into my collection.
