Remington 8 is a self-loading, five-shot repeating rifle that utilizes recoil to reload, reducing shoulder shock and increasing firing speed. Its solid breech and turning bolt, which locks close to the cartridge head, ensure safety when using high-power cartridges. The rifle's box magazine can be loaded with a clip or without, and the bolt remains open after the last cartridge is fired, indicating an empty chamber. It features a light trigger pull and a balanced trigger to prevent accidental discharge if dropped. The rifle's safety is easy to operate and can be made noiseless.
