6x47 Remington rebored and rechambered 222 Remington by Ron Smith. Unknown barrel No idea the load as these were handloads that arrived with the rifle. 58gr Hornady bullets. I dropped it into a refinished stock, it's not bedded yet but does have a Timney trigger.. Next step of the plan is actual bottom metal of some type and fit it in to this Bishop stock. F

Now, that brings back memories. If it was mine, I'd lose the white spacers. Those bring back TOO many memories... That should make a nice rifle. DF

I agree white spacers to go.
May reduce the Monte Carlo hump a bit. The Monte Carlo fits me well, I prefer a classic style stock it's full length .
I also may just go with a contrasting wood Schnabel for the front end intstead of metal.
It really needs sights and metal on the front end , however I'm not going that far into the $$$ on this one.

It will look OK without irons, IMO.
Thinning the comb a bit won’t hurt.

Back in the 70's, a friend of mine had a 660 - 308. He had a local gunsmith friend load up some ammo and test fire it. The Gunsmith told him that it was one of the best shooting production rifles that he has seen. That Smith's name was Seeley Masker!

I had gotten it right, used. I liked it enough to invest in a custom barrel. Glad I did. It’s a tack driver. I have more in it than it’ll bring, but I like it. It’s a keeper, so who cares. DF

The rifles I use for precision shooting are my Remington 40X 6mm International with it's 28" barrel twisted 1-10. It's a Douglas now as I wore out the Remington barrel.
My other favorite gallery rifle is my Remington 40X 22 LR with it's original barrel. The scope is a Unertl 15 Ultra Varmint. The 6mm International has Redfield Irons.

The match chamber was a bit snug for hunting ammo. It was accurate, but a bit heavy. I ultimately traded it. My Cooper Classic is slicker, lighter, prettier and just as accurate with a host of ammo.

I shot weekly in our indoor gallery leagues with the .22 and bi monthly with the center fire. I won many matches including the high average awards.
I use a 40X canvas and leather shooting coats.

Does repainting the chitty paint job that came on the HS stock, count as 'custom'? Absolutely.... Nice photos. DF

If it isn't cataloged or a special recognized run, it has to be custom. You crossed the threshold of "custom" when you put the H-S Precision stock on your 600/660 barreled action.

I'll shoot however you want, but I'll never own anything that has (KIMBER MARK ON THE BARREL OR SLIDE) PERIOD!!!!!! just my opinion , there is nothing wrong with a Timmy on a 600/660 I can't talk about the new Remington but the older one's are great and work, not like the kimber roulette !!

I really like the Timney and Willie’s bottom metal on my Mohawk. Kimber can be a PITA. Mine does well with the Broughton barrel. Nothing $5-600 won’t cure. DF
