OK.....Stupid question. A knowledgeable gun guy told me once that Remington 600/660's were notorious for breaking bolt handles, that's why they stopped making them.
Is he or am i the idiot because mine never broke and i have had it for over 10 years.
He is wrong. Remington stopped making them because they didn't sell enough of them. After Remington stopped cataloging the 660, they continued to make the less expensive 600 Mohawk that was only sold through high volume retailers for as many years, 8 years, as they cataloged both the 600 and 660.
600s were cataloged from 1964 thru 1967 (4 years)
660s were cataloged from 1968 thu 1971 (4 years)
600 Mohawks were never cataloged, but they were sold from 1972 thru 1979 (8 years)
