A Model 8 in .30 Remington was my first deer rifle. Unscrew the forend and there is a lever that you can take the rifle down with; 3 parts forend, barrel, receiver/buttstock. Easy to do and easy to replace.
The 35 remington was/is the best caliber for hunting; was because it was the most powerful (larger case than the 25, 30 & 32 Remingtons) and still is as it is still avail. as a factory round.
Was replaced by the Model 81, which I believe had a pistol grip, dropped the .25 Rem. round and most importantly added the 300 Savage round.
