...I never knew the weight of the Rem. 600 action, but knew it was a light one since my Brown precision "High Country" built on a 600 action back in 1978 by Chet Brown weighs in at 5.5 lbs with a Shilen 20" SS barrel, and Chet's kevlar stock. After all these years it is still my favorite hunting rig!Just imagine if Les Webernick (sp?)got his mill-work done on that sexy little model 600 action!Ive got another model 600 Rem in 6mm Rem with a lovely trimmed down walnut stock that would cobble up into a delightful 358 Winchester chambered hunting rig for timber cruising. I ought to get busy on it!
