I’ve got the ser. Number but can’t do much with that. Got to be a 77-84. After that the 8mm was custom shop only

If that stock is factory, it's the prettiest factory stock I have ever seen on a Remington, and that recoil pad looks like it growed there!

That’s a beautiful firearm. Good luck.

I've been looking through the blue book and the closest I can find to it is a Safari Grade, that's shown as a special order custom shop only rifle. But like yo said, it has no sights. The stock matches though. The 8mm wasn't offered in this grade until 1986 but the way it reads, it was produced until the line was discontinued in 2000.
He may not be that far off on value, but like you, I feel like $1200 is high. I'm thinking $800-$900, specially with it being engraved with his fathers initials.

I did a “‘Sold items” search on gunbroker and a regular Bdl can be had for around $600-$900. Im not sure about the safari grade because they have 2 “dots” on the stock at the receiver instead of one like this one has. You will probably know what the “dots” are really called but I don’t. I did see one 78 model custom shop that looked exactly like it except the wood wasn’t quite as good. If I can get him to bite on 800 I will drive and look at it. I need it like a hole in the head but for some reason 8 Rem mag has intrigued me.

Custom Shop gun, high grade wood, rare caliber - I think he's pretty reasonable at $1200 for what he has. If you can get it for less, good for you, but if it was mine, I wouldn't have started at $1200
Very pretty wood but it's still just a Remington 700. The grade of wood does add some value. The 8mm Remington magnum was a flop as a cartridge, the answer to a question no one was asking, and doesn't really help the value because it is a rare chambering.

Rare doesn’t mean valueable. It even subtracts from the value. Ammo is very hard to find and exspensive when you do find it. I just want an 8mm. Probably not this one because we can’t get together on a price,I would love to have it because I think is it a really pretty gun and you don’t see them everyday. But I can get a shooter grade BDL for half that price. Thanks for all y’alls input.

Just curious. What’s the attraction of 8mm.

Grandaddy had one. I remember shooting it as a kid. So nostalgia I guess. And I also tend to like “flop’’ chamberings for some reason. LOL Remington is your company. They've got this superb marketing ability to have a cartridge that should be good and just running it into the ground. If the 260 was marketed correctly and given the correct barrel twists the 6.5Creedmoor wouldn't exist or be the #1 6.5MM in the US by a long shot in new production/ammo sales.

The 6.8 Spc comes to mind also. I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread and just had to have one. I like the caliber and still have it but I never figured out why it didn’t gain traction
