Remington model 8

[Mr. 16 gauge]

Was perusing the used gun racks on Saturday and came across a Remington model 8 in .35 Remington....gun looked like it just came from the factory (no, I'm not exaggerating...it didn't have a mark or scratch on it and the bluing was just as deep and dark as I've ever seen!), which makes me think it might have been refinished. I always get a bit leery of rifles that are "too good to be true".....makes me wonder what internal pieces are going to break (that I can't find) after the first five rounds.
Price tag said $400.....any thoughts? Anyone have one of these? I'm thinking that the were most likely used in the deer woods of MI, MN, WI, PA, ect., though probably not as popular as it was a semiauto and somewhat expensive.
