This is a Remington Model 81, did Winchester make a model very similar to this one?
If so...Model______?
I know the furniture on this one has been redone but the wood is all even or above all the metal, so wasnt sanded too much.
BUT..the forend stock doesnt look quite right to me, and Lord knows I know didly about these guns...thats why the questions..[:D]
The angle at the back of the forend down to the receiver, is that factory original?
I know a lot of rifles back in 19-0-poop, had a Schnabel forend and/or the Beavertail like this one has, the golden years for those two types...did SOME of the forends on the Model 81 evolve over the years of production...or were they ever offered with a different forend stock than this Beavertail forend, ever offered or come with a Schnabel forend, or was the Beavertail forend the only style for this model?
Offered w/Factory Peep sight?
Im getting a strong itch for one of these excellent condition...in 100% original FACTORY condition, no extra D & T holes or changed sights...and in a Cal that ammo can be found, doesnt have to be cheap, just avaiable somewhere.
So far Ive seen .25, .30 and 300 Savage...anymore calibers?
Thanks in advance guys...and I dont know squat about these...but have liked 'em for a long time, and no time like the present for a really nice one, just need to know what one in 100% ORIGINAL condition looks like for SURE..thanks again ya'll...[;)]

the 1907 was in .351wsl
the 1910 was in .401wsl
no other rifles ever used these calibers and ammo production stopped in 1973.
buffalo bore can make the ammo, but it aint cheap, about $1.68 per round for the .35wsl.[:0]

That, would have been one gun I wouldnt have sold...bet your * is bruised from all the self inflicted kicks, mine would be.[:D]
I FINALLY found a site that had the answers to my questions.
They made a TRAIL model that has a short barrel with Lymans peep, sweet!!
Ill check out the Winchesters, thanks ya'll...[;)]
