Another vote for CVMW. His work is on my 7mm-08 (in pic above).

I have a Leupold 2-7x28 on a 660 and it is a great setup.

Too bad Remington couldn't have seen fit to offer something like that to begin with. I had to open up the area around the trigger to accommodate the Timney. Not a big deal. DF

A pristine 600 in .350 is a heirloom piece to be passed on ! Thinking a mint 2.5-8x loopy would be a great fit !

For the last couple of years I've used the FX3 3x scope on mune. Like it alot. Prior to that had the standby 6x36 which was fine as well. Paul

Thanks - these little 600's always seem to look best when they're in a pine forest.

I have a 600mohawk Im looking to scope shortly. Looking to put a kahles cl 2-7x36mm on it.
The other scope I did consider was a 1.75-6 leupold..... What caliber is your Mohawk? .308?

The Leupold 2x7 is never a bad choice on a hunting rifle. The only con to them is they are a bit short for long action rifles. Ditto for the 2x7 redfield.

PBR,
That gun has the nicest looking custom bottom metal I've seen. I love the lines and the way the trigger sits at the back of the trigger guard.
Some of the McM 600 stocks (M-7), with the turned around 700 ADL trigger guards, look sorta weird, the trigger sitting way forward in the trigger guard. This one looks like a custom 600 should look.
I like the stock, too.

My lovely Bride inherited her Mohawk 600 in .308 after her father's untimely demise from a heart attack in 1988. He was only 50 years old. He bought that for her. It's scoped with a Leupold 3-9x40 that he purchased for it before he died. Her rifle was the economy model. No vent rib and a synthetic trigger guard and magazine floor plate. It looks much better now. I purchased some nice bottom metal (real metal) for it and installed it. I really like the portability of the rifle. She hunted with it while growing up, and she uses it now when she gets a chance to deer hunt in a state that trusts it's citizenry with center fire rifles.

All my 600s are highly modified but I feel Leopold's 2.5-8 is the perfect size and weight scope for a Rem600.

VX-2, 2-7x33 may be a bit more compact than the VX-3, 1.75-6x32, pictured above on my Mohawk. The 2-7 can be had, IIRC, with the CDS, the 1.75-6 has to be sent back for CDS retrofit.
The new VX-2 series is pushing the VX-3 in glass quality from what I've seen.
