I'm loading for 35 Remington...brass is a tough find, but see now and then at gun shows.. sometimes for less than a painful price.

That captures the recoil of the Model 8 and 81 very well. I think it's the long stroke of the barrel sliding back in the shroud that takes the harshness out of the recoil. And yeah - you still feel it, but it's more like a push than a hit from a sledge hammer.some how, the design absorbs it just fine, though it still slams ya pretty good!
"These old rifles in a Modern Cartridge" exists in the 81 with a .300 Savage: the first "short,fat,minimum taper, sharp shoulder" cartridge, "designed for efficiency" (just like all the latest heartthrobs), and the seminal prototype for the .308.I picked up a late Model 8 several years ago, in .30 Remington, thankfully, it came with 10 boxes of factory loaded ammo, and several pounds worth of brass. of that I am thankful, as its nearly impossible to find! Thanks to a number of kind hearted and kindred spirits here, I came into some unique tools that would make service super slick and pain free. That lead to a member here selling a later .300 Savage model 81 that had been converted to .308 Winchester by none other then Ed Shillin, which the member sold me for a VERY reasonable price, thank you again, you know who you are! And thus started my addiction of Remington Autoloading Rifles! I hate the 81's stock and found a E-bay Mod-8 replacement in super fancy wood, so I did the deed, and no one should care as it's NOT an original rifle due to the caliber conversion! Lemme tell ya, these old rifles in a Modern Cartridge are a wholly new experience, and .308 is pretty slick and snappy, but some how, the design absorbs it just fine, though it still slams ya pretty good!
OK thank you so muchThe Remington Model 24 is a Browning design (same design as the later produced Browning SA). Just like a Remington Model 11 Shotgun is the "first" Browning Auto-5.
They were made from 1922 to 1935 (Yours may show a patent date of 1911).
Excellent guns, all.
I don't know say made in Batavia ny model no 1Savage 1903?
