I built a 600 five years ago out of a .308 Win. factory gun that was one of my least favorites into what has become one of my favorite rifles ever.

I screwed on a M7 barrel in .260 Rem. and installed the Timney trigger, and the after-market aluminum trigger guard and mag.

The balance of the gun with the short barrel just begged to be stocked as a Mannlicher to me. So I found a nice piece of French and had a friend put it together.

It loves the Barnes 130 gr. TSX and I've taken several animals (pronghorn and whitetails) with it.
