Produced in the Remington Factory Custom Shop, a Premier Grade firearm starts with a full set of fresh components, which are then hand-fitted and assembled by a master gunsmith, subjected to engraving and embellishment representing up to an entire week of a skilled engraver's labor, and finished off with a set of top quality hardwood furniture, in this case an attractive checkered pistol grip walnut stock. A dovetailed bead blade front sight and elevation adjustable rear sight are installed on the barrel shroud, which is stamped with the two-line address and patent date on top set in a scroll, engraved with a pair of 4 1/2 inch long wedges of scroll and leaf pattern engraving at the breech, and lightly scroll engraved takedown collar. Extensive engraving is present on the receiver, chiefly scroll designs with textured backgrounds, which extends down the trigger guard and magazine while showing a number of floral accents, and game scenes on the sides. The left side is engraved with a running buck in an open field scene. The right side is engraved with bear in a mountain scene. Both the forearm and stock are finely checkered, with the forearm featuring a sling swivel, a multi-point checkered pistol grip, blank inscription oval, and hard rubber Remington-UMC pistol grip cap and buttplate. Provenance: The Tom Selleck Collection

Excellent, retaining 97% original blue finish showing some high edge wear. The engraving is crisp. A couple chips are absent from the buttplate. The wood is fine with a chip visible at the lower tang and on the buttplate toe, minor handling marks, and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. A high condition example of Remington artistry, this Model 8F Premier Grade 8F Grade rifle will be a standout piece to any Remington collection or firearms art collection.
