Model 8's have crappy un-attractive wood, no ejectors, no real "options", usually had cheekpeices (some like em, so dont). With that said, I would buy a Model 8 over a brand new RBL anyday.

That's pretty funny- I rather like the wood on mine, it does not have a cheek piece (nor was it an option at the time), no ejectors is a big plus in my book, and it cost less than 1/3 of the RBL. But I'd buy an RBL if wanted a new gun. I'd have to shave down those forearms and have it recheckered, but otherwise,they look quite nice. I cannot see why people rag on them so.
