Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats any rem 600 customs out there

The .243 has a home, thank you.

I'm going to give that .243 some enhancement pills to get a 358 Winchester some day.

that's way nice!

Any other custom 600s out there? Any of them for sale? RZ

If I could find a lightweight stock for my 660 in 222 I'd be tempted to keep it. I simply cannot stand the factory wood. If I don't find something soon it's either sale or belt sander.

Very enlightning thread. I believe the late Colonel Cooper’s scout rifle concept, was originally designed around the Mohawk 600 action.

A friend has a barreled action that he wants to sell. It is the Mohawk 600 in 6.5 Rem. It is very clean. It has the trigger housing but no trigger , no trigger guard or bottom metal or stock for that matter. About a month ago on ebay, there was a wood stock with complete bottom metal for around $250.

I don’t know how to post photos, but can send via text or email to any from a pm. I don’t mean to hijack the thread, my apologies.
I just thought someone might have an interest. My friend is 87 years young and never going to do anything with it.

Rusty Zipper, for the right price, I may be willing to part with my 600 on page 3 of this thread. RJ

Kind of a custom 600, the original plastic rib & trigger guard have been replaced with metal and the action has been bedded. The scout mount and scope are original Redfields. The gun is a pleasure to carry and is fast to get on target.

Here's my entry to the 600 "customs" threads!

It is not quite done yet. It needs some new paint and a little work attaching the front of the 700 ADL trigger guard to the factory mag box. The rest is basically "stock"... 308 Win, other than the stock. Not sure if the synthetic stock is McMillan or MPI but the whole thing is sure light and compact. It should make a neat short range, tight cover "thumper".

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.

don't do that! I might be interested depending what your asking price is I tried to send a pm

MLF sent you a PM

This my contribution I will admit it may be my new favorite....6.5x47 LAUPA it very well could be the only one in existence who knows?

Is there a difference in the 600 vs 700 mag boxes for 222 cartridge family. Specifically the height. I'm having feeding issues with a 700 mag box in a 600 stock.


Thanks

I remember reading a Bob Milek article in Guns and Ammo decades ago where he took a Remington 600 in .308 and customized it. He cut off the vent rib, I believe fashioned a bolt release, and put it in a Mannlicher stock. It was my dream rifle. I carried the magazine with the article thru several moves. Eventually, I left a principal’s job and my teachers thought enough of me to give $300 as a going away present and a small Browning fixed blade belt knife. Bill Ruger, by then, had come out with his Ruger tang safety RSIs and I found a VG used one in .308 for exactly $300 no tax at my local gun store. I bought it and still have it. The 3 boys are fighting over which one gets it after my demise! I did briefly own a Rem 600 in .243. It was a deer killing machine. Only dislikes were the vent rib, stock, lack of bolt release, and the cheap plastic trigger guard. I remarried, had a heart attack 6 months later, and could not work for 3 months. I had to sell it to pay bills. Still like a .243 to this day and would like to find another. Bought one of the Weatherby Vanguards in .243 at Wally World when they had them for $249; but decided to give it to my only 13 year old grandson for Christmas as his first CF rifle.
Still looking for a good used quality scope for it.

Carrollco, did you find a good used scope? PM me if you need one. I come across them from time to time. Rusty

First time I've seen black toilet paper on the end of a barrel.

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)

super nice!!

Here's my 600 again, in the M7 stock, the last time I hunted it. RJ
