Here's my two, 6.5 Mag on left and the .308 on right. I really need to take one out and hunt it, really handy little rigs! ![[Linked Image]](http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r489/oregonmuley/IMG_0918-1.jpg)

I had a 660 in 308 that was very accurate! The bolt stop was a PITA to operate.

I thought $400 was a good deal. Actually, I have seen the guy deal before on his other guns. Maybe being Feb, and on a Sunday, he was willing to let it go, and maybe even cheaper if you show the cash. He will be there next month.
It was at the Gibraltar Trade Center Gun Show in Mt. Clemens, MI if anyone is near there. They have a show there every 1 or 2 months I think.
It is in really great shape.

Traded for this Mohawk. Added a 22" Shilen 8 twist .22-250 barrel, glassed and free floated, Willie's aluminum bottom metal previously mentioned and a Timney trigger. Nice, handy truck gun that shoots sub MOA. Likes 75 and 80 gr. bullets. Leupold VX-3 2.5-8x36 that I sent back for CDS.

Nice.
The trigger position is my only issue, although not a real functional problem.
Just wished it was farther back in the trigger guard.

Question for those with Willies bottom metal/trigger guard on 600 mohawk.
Did you have any issues fitting them,, I ask as the one I have I am unable to do up my 2 original action screws as the screws appear to be to short...
Works fine with the original plastic trigger guard....

Yes, it took some fitting.
My screws worked OK.
Maybe it's not seating fully. More fitting may be necessary.
How much short are the OEM screws?

DF Trigger guard seats fully into an original stock. Not sure how short bedding screws are, just know that they wont do up. Have tried 2 more original stocks and still the same problem. Willies trigger guards are certainly well made, heaps better than the originals....

All of Willie's 600/660 alloy bottom metal have been drop-in installations.

I had to relieve more room for the box mag.
Not hard to do with a Dremel.

the mohawk is the 2nd variation on the 600 and was a little chintzier but still a nice little gun. 400 is a very good price for a nice one and i'll bet it will shoot like a laser.

Shame, shame, shame for walking away from that rifle/price. You would have loved it.
I have bought every one that I've found at bargain prices. Never been disappointed in them. In recent years, I've given them to family or sold them and now only have two. One was a sad, mistreated 222 that had a poor bore. Sent it off and had it rebored and rechambered to 7mmTCU. It is a seriously fun and accurate lightweight now. The other is a 308 that has a slimmed down, reshaped stock and one of my favorite midday walkabout rifles. Here is the 308 mentioned above. The stock was a sorely abused 660 stock with impressed checkering. I cut maybe 4 inches off and reshaped the end, then sanded off all the checkering and a lot of the other superfluous wood. Unfortunately, even tho the checkering is gone, you can still see the outline of it. I just didn't think I needed to keep on sanding until the dark lines were gone. Then I added a barrel band and a good recoil pad. I really like the results. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v316/Hook67/Mohawk002_zps215e12dd.jpg)

My FIL gave my bride a Mohawk 600 in .308 for her white tail gun when she was 12. She has quite a string of one shot kills with it. I found some bottom metal somewhere, and got rid of that plastic trigger guard. It had warped over time (my bride is 53). The metal one I found was not aluminum and it fit great. Dropped right in. That is a handy little rifle.

A friend of mine just restocked a 600 in either Ex. or AAA grade Turkish Walnut. To die for!
