Have some pics, but no luck compressing them enough to load here. If you have trouble, email them to me and I'll put them on Imgur and post here. Send me a PM for details. DF

I have a lot of favorite guns, 600/660 Remington being at he top of the list. I also love a Mannlicher stocked rifles. I currently have a 600 in every factory caliber with the acception of the rare .223. I couldn't imagine taking one and having it customized, Kind of like taking your kid to get a tattoo, but if I ran across one already customized. I would want it to be the above rifle. That is one nice rifle. LOve the figured wood and the Mannlicher stock. I need to become good friends with Grousechaser. maybe he will pass it this way in his will. LOL
A bowhunter at heart but a gun guy at soul. I'll take craftsmanship, wood and blue steel over plastic and composite any day.

LOL I couldn't get rid of the original plastic trigger guard, flexi barrel rib, and the slap of the .308 cartridge fast enough! Kind of like I'd do with a nose ring or tattoo on my kid! (if I had one....). Tell ya what, I'll put this 260 in my will to you, if you'll put your .264 WM in your will to me!

I don't have any good close ups of the rifle itself. It is a 600 action with a shilen 243AI barrel, brown's precision stock and steel bottom metal. It has downed several deer, antelope, coyotes, etc. I have a Leupold fixed 6x with a M1 turret on it. A long time ago on the campfire here the 600 was a favorite for lightweight builds. Big Stick had a pink 25-284 that inspired many to build their own. JimF was a lightweight connoisseur that built one as well as others. You could probably do a search going back over ten years ago when they were popular here and see some builds.

The Kimber 84/8400rifles are as light as the 600 and superior in every way.

I also like my 600 Rem. I replaced the factory barrel, only because it was shot out, not because it was defective... DF

Did you Mother fail to teach basic manners rule 101, "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."? Or, are you becoming so senile and that you've forgotten your manners?

The choice of a 600 action for what's been called a 'custom' rifle is a poor one. It's not negative to tell the truth!
I one wants a short action the Kimber rifles will get us there faster and perhaps better,

I one wants a short action the Kimber rifles will get us there faster and perhaps better, Don, Your posts almost always have a negative tone to them and your use of the word "truth" is just an expression of your opinion. If it isn't factory specs, it has to be custom. The following is an accepted Dictionary definition of the word CUSTOM: cus·tom adjective - NORTH AMERICAN 1. made or done to order for a particular customer. "a custom rifle" I define non-standard firearms that weren't reworked by professional 'smiths as "parts guns", but defining them as being "custom" certainly falls within the scope of the above cited accepted Dictionary definition. So, I guess you're wrong yet again, but you're wrong so often that being wrong is probably a very familiar experience for you.
