Model 8 Remingtons were semi-automatic rifles. The Model 10 started life in 1908 as "The Remington Repeating Shotgun". After Union Metallic Cartridge and Remington merged in 1910, it became the Model 10. The Model 17 design was purchased by Remington from John Browning in 1914, but wasn't produced until 1921 because of WWI. Model 10s were only produced in 12-gauge, Model 17s were only produced in 20. Both the Model 10 (which became the Model 29 in 1929, largely by changing the safety location) and the Model 17 were replaced by the Model 31 in, you guessed it, 1931.
