Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington 600 Mohawk

All:

I was at a gun show this last weekend and discovered a Rem 600 Mohawk in 308 sitting in the rack. The gun was in really good shape and the price tag of $400 seemed fair to me. I have too much now so of course I let it slide. Though, when I handled it, it felt like a nice little handy carbine. Anyone hunt with one of these?

Question: Is the trigger guard plastic? Looked like it.

I had a 600 Mohawk and I believe the trigger guard was plastic.
Mine was a .243 and shot federal 80 and 100 gr factory loads very well

They are handy. It is a nice little carbine. Yes the trigger guard is plastic, and they often warp, but there is an aluminum (after market) one available. Wish you had gotten the name of the guy, I would have been interested in the gun.
Thanks

Hey Jeff,

I've got one in .308 and one in .222. That's a good price. Got my .308 from G&H and it's like new.

The trigger guard is a plastic POJ but I replaced them with the nice units from Willie at CVMW. He posts on here.

RAS - glad to see some love shown for this little jewel. I've had one since the mid-70's. Paid $105 at the LGS. Had to replace the trigger guard (see rest of the posters comments)and re-finished the stock to round off the corners. W/O this it carried like a 2X4. Pretty accurate for what it likes in ammo (150 Sierra) and Rem Core-Lokt. Be aware of an awesome muzzle flash when fired at dusk/dawn due to a short barrel. Great jeep rifle. Homesteader

My first year M600, 308 is one of my favorite rifles when chasing bucks in PA and NY and is the epitome of an old school lightweight rifle at 6lb., 6oz. all up. As noted above the muzzle flash/blast from the 18.5" barrel at dawn and dusk is also pretty spectacular....

That was a damn good price. In your old stomping grounds of NC that would of been a $650 rifle.

That would of been a great deal! I have 2 model 600's, one in .308 and one 6.5 Rem Mag. I did replace the plastic trigger guard with the one mentioned which is a great up-grade. They are a handful with that short barrel, especially the Mag:)

the remington loudhawk. ive got the ruger merican predator in .308 which has a similar 18" spout. handy-dandy and a real loudmouth.

Yep, 400.00 was a good price if not beat to crap and the 600 Mohawk without the plastic vent rib is a plus.

Prices on 600s has gone up pretty steadily in the past years. $400 for a Mohawk would have been insane in '06, now not so much for sure. The vent rib Model 600s can double that now. I have a Mohawk 6mm that I paid $150. Put on some nice furniture and it's a sweet rig. I also had a 600 vent rib in 308 and when a guy made me a offer I took it, almost doubled my $. I was so stupid.......

When I told Chad I had bought a 660 350 mag he wondered why in the world I'd want it. After he handled it he saw it was a great bush gun. I put an aluminum trigger guard on it and mounted a Leupold 4x.

There was a guy here on the forum that made and sold Aluminum trigger guards for the Mohawk. Did a good job of it too. Bought one for a pard.

Cant remember who...

I've had a few 600's & 660's through the years, mostly in 6mm. All have shot very well. They're funky little rifles, but I like 'em.
$400.00 was a great price these days, IMO.

The 308 Mowhawk was my first rifle and I would love to find another in good shape. That price was very good. The 308s fetch a premium here

^^^^ This is what I was going to say ^^^^

Willie 600/660 bottom metal is the best unit on the market and fairly priced for under $100.

Here's mine. I sorta dig it.




It's showing some promise with 180 TTSX's as well.

here is a link for the trigger guard:

The .350 mag is very nice, but mine has been looking for a better home, since I rarely even take it out of the case. Yep, 1965 was a very good year. Of course, way back, I bought extra parts from Rem just in case.

The Remington 600 series is one of the handiest rifles ever made IMO and are usually very accurate. I had a 600 Mohawk chambered in 222 that I used for a gopher/PD rifle and meat shoot gun for a lot of years, I won freezers full of meat with that little outfit.

My all time favorite though was the 660, it had a 20 inch barrel and a nicer walnut stock than the Mohawks.

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.
