Remington - Model 81 "Woodsmaster" - .300 Savage - Part 2

[@zemlidrakona2915]

I had this exact gun, 300 Savage and all, before I moved overseas. Mine seemed a tad easier to load however.

[@vannjunkin8041]

lol

[@DerpyTurtle0762]

Remington Model 81 in 300 Savage is one of the best rifles ever, we have one it's AMAZING

[@nukeblue]

The BEST slow motion Model 81 cycling video that I've seen. Excellent job!

[@PhoenixPhart]

Thanks for watching!

[@seann2769]

These are so utterly amazing. Probably one of my top 5 favorite guns of all time.

[@billglueck9705]

Did not realize the 81 was a Browning design nor a long recoil action. What a genius. He designed all of the great rifles, pistols and shotguns.

[@doranmaxwell1755]

I make my 300 savage rounds from .308 military brass. I use M14 stripper clips.. those two things make this a very economical rifle to shoot.

[@purebloodheretic4682]

The Genius of John Moses Browning Never Fails to Amaze me!! What a Sweet Weapon!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍

[@A65Driver]

So many crazy moving parts on the 81.. love mine, looked for one forever..

[@denniskirsch7783]

Something to note from this video - namely that loading from a stripper clip is slow and cumbersome. I find it is just as fast, maybe faster, to load each cartridge individually. There is a trick. Insert the cartridge into the magazine base down, then flip it forward. It works very well after a little practice.

[@nickjohnson9640]

Thank you for a great video. Answered all my questions without saying a word. As informative as it was enjoyable to watch :)

[@luisreynoso9445]

People always talk about browning and his dealings with Winchester & FN but I feel he did his best work with Remington

[@serenegreene6984]

Sorta like an Auto-5 with a top loading internal box magazine and shrouded barrel. I sure do like that peep sight.

[@craigthemonke794]

I remember my dad found one of these and it was 200 dollars since it was “broken” but all it needed was a screw

[@DeanStoffel]

My 81 was the finest brush gun for deer. Accurate out to 300yrds, and never missed a running deer.

[@DannyJeys]

Pretty cool gun can't go wrong with browning design almost a 308most loads pretty close

[@mikesmith8315]

Any leads on a magazine spring and follower for one of these? 😅

[@michaelweber6962]

I have two. All the people i know unaware of these guns. Mr. Brown.

Excuse me Mr browing

[@walkermassey5563]

Hey man would you want to sell one of them.

[@eisenkrieg553]

That is some rough clip feeding. Are most stripper fed rifles like this in your opinion or is there something on this particular rifle that is catching?

[@PhoenixPhart]

I'm using Swedish Mauser clips with the tabs ground off. It's not perfect, but it usually works well enough. It's usually not that stubborn, but that's what happens when you're using clips with ammunition it wasn't designed for. Most stripper fed rifles tend not to have this much of a problem in my experience

[@thegoldencaulk2742]

The original clips do tend to be smoother, especially the brass ones which are pretty robust and reliable. Most stripper-fed rifles tend to be smooth if using the correct clip and assuming the gun is in good condition. Even a good Mosin can be loaded smoothly if you avoid the junk repro clips.

[@PhoenixPhart]

@@ThatSpaceKraken Wonderful news! Thanks! I'll have to try that next time

[@AdmiralyBoring]

@PhoenixPhart Well done. Thank you for making this video. Very thorough and great footage. Awesome to see some real appreciation for these works of mechanical art.

[@PhoenixPhart]

Thank you very much for watching! I hope to film more soon! Expect something very interesting next upload :)

[@8aleph]

I have 1an 81 in .300 savage I got A good deal on it in A River Oaks Texas Pawn shop way back in the early 70's. 70 dollars it works flawlessly I had to recrown the barrel

[@C172Pilotdude]

This caliber is expensive correct ? I am dying to get one of these with the original scope.

[@PhoenixPhart]

Fairly, I think I managed to get it at around $24 a box before the happening.

[@bryanclay2538]

It's way less expensive than all the Remington calibers for this weapon.

[@stanleyness7230]

Try oiling clip and ammo before loading.your ammo is binding while being force into magazine

[@SpruceReduce8854]

Is the front sight ok?

[@PhoenixPhart]

It's lining up targets in heaven now ;-;

[@SpruceReduce8854]

@@PhoenixPhart RIP. Reminds me of the 2 extractors that flew off of my Colt 1903 pocket hammerless after firing

[@PhoenixPhart]

@@SpruceReduce8854 lol sorry, I found it on the ground over to the right after reviewing the footage. That recording with the front sight was the second filming while the final version you see here is the third. Sorry to hear about your 1903 extractors, my 1908 sheared the back of the firing pin so now I have a non-firing slide. Ended up picking up a new slide tho

[@charlesgreen8604]

Fantastic video. Thank you

[@olskool3967]

i have a model 81 in 35 i have model 8s in 25, 30, 32, 35 caliber. i have killed several deer with them. i am a handloader of course. and BTW to load without a stripper clip, tilt the cartridge up and put the rim into the magazine first then push in place, do the same to the next round. it makes it a whole lot faster and easer.

[@walkermassey5563]

Hey man would you want to sell on of those model 8s. I've been looking for one for a long time.

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

Very cool gun. I need to get one.

[@phillycheesetake]

Sweet peep sight, have you tried shooting for groups?

[@PhoenixPhart]

I have not, but it pings steel very well at 200 and 300 yards!

[@brentd2070]

My first deer rifle. Best round for Michigan there is if you dont factorin no one carries that round.

[@heymotivator2231]

Select fire for a stripper clip fed gun was an interesting choice

[@davidmcleod7757]

awesome rifle

[@super00su]

A 223/556 version of this gun would have a market, with many states banning more then 10 rounds they could make a double stack internal magazine and a double stack stripper clip with 10 rounds. They could double stack like the M1 Garand, which had a 10 round prototype or like the SKS.

[@TheHatman168]

Imagine a .308 version

[@Joshua_N-A]

A modernized version with gas system, a detachable box magazine and a new sight.

[@Mossy500A]

Hit me up for repairs on that front sight, lol.

[@PhoenixPhart]

Lol I appreciate it buddy, but I shot it so much yesterday that the barrel sleeve got so hot, the front sight base expanded enough that you could remove the front sight by hand, or in this case recoil

[@JohnDoe-pk8lc]

Only now i noticed the spürdo with a chauchat on your thumbnail lol

[@doranmaxwell1755]

Shooting the gun is like shooting a pogo stick LOL.. fun fun fun... take down is simple and I think I can buy a 'barrel' in .35 Remington and just put it on and shoot .35 remingtons!

[@tberkoff]

Here's a trick, load the rounds rim first.

[@blhornertube]

Them stripper clips are worth a bit of money I would not be throwing them on the ground

[@Kill3rGr1zzly]

Those are SKS stripper clips cut in two. Almost every single Model 81 clip you see isn’t original.
