HISTORIC COP RIFLES STILL VIABLE ON THE STREET?

摘要

These rifles are interesting links with history. Both were formidable cop and guard guns in their day. I am pretty certain the low bid was the tie breaker in many instances. If I were in a tall guard tower ready to stop a prison break-which often included help from the outside-the powerful and accurate Remington Model 8 would have been my first choice. If engaged in fast-moving pursuits of heavily armed gangs, the Winchester '07 was controllable and could put a lot of lead into a target quickly. It's fun to think about the choices we may have had in 1907 or so, but today the ammunition situation makes the Remington Model 8 the most practical choice. However, both are proven rifles with quite a heritage. When you look at either with a clear eye, it's obvious that these fast-handling rifles are capable of dealing with 90% of the police problems we might face in this century. They are powerful, reliable and accurate for the tasks at hand.
