Dean A - have an older Mohawk 600 in .308Win and it's a great shooter (a little "blasty" due to its short barrel) but very handy in a jeep or stand. Check the serial number with Remington to see if their safety recall has been complied with. Stock config is like holding a 2X4 in your hand due to the square edges and impressed checkering not the greatest BUT at its $104 cost (new many years ago) I liked it enough to keep it. Works well with a Redfield 2-7X scope. Homesteader.
