The Remington Model 8 is a John Browning design and was licensed to
Remington in the U.S. and licensed to FN in Europe as the Browning 1900.
It was marketed as a powerful semi-auto rifle in its .35 Remington
chambering and sold to sportsman as a dangerous game rifle and to police
for much the same reason. The Remington Model 8 in this caliber was one
of the rifles chosen by the officers that ambushed and killed Bonnie
and Clyde. Ammunition in this caliber is still manufactured and
available, including Hornady’s LEVERevolution. Many hunters consider
this rifle to still be a great woods rifle. For more information on this
historic gun see a website devoted to it-
