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

that looks nice!

Top is my 338Fed with a Douglas #2 cut at 21" and a Mcswirley. It weighs 6 1/2 pounds
Bottom is a 7mm-08 with a Douglas #1 also cut at 21" in a MCM Edge stock. It weighs 5 1/2 pounds.
I had the bolt handles removed and reattached '"just in case." I also had the bolts jeweled.

Both are great shooters and have killed many deer and a couple elk.

Nice.

That thing looks tiny.

Knighthawk, How did the 350 Barnes TSXs go in the American? I know it has been a while. TIA, and Be Well. Rusty

Is that a reversed M-700 trigger guard? Trigger?

It looks different than what I've seen with reversed 700 trigger guards and Timney triggers. Typically the trigger sits way forward in the trigger guard with that configuration. These look much better, IMO, more like bigJ's set up.

Duckbrx,

That is a beautiful rifle. What caliber?

Would like to stick a nice light synthetic of some sort on my 660. Maybe even a rebarrel as well.

It chambered in 6.5x47 with a muller 1in 8. Actually kinda built it for my kid but considering he has to be at school he may not care it dad takes it out a time or 40!!!

My mother told me that it was this kind of logic that my father liked and which led to "my" first toy train...

Nice looking rifle!

Good Shooter with Barnes 120 TTSX Bullets !

Should a guy rebarrel/restock one of these if he has a very clean one or just get a 700, rebarrel/restock it and leave the 600/660 original?

I am partial to the Rem 660, IMO it was the nicest of the lot - they had a walnut stock, a 20" barrel and a good blue job on them. The Rem 600 had the plastic rib and a thin short barrel which I could never get to shoot as well as the Mohawk 600 or Rem 660. The Mohawk 600 had a coarser metal finish and a beechwood stock and IIRC an 18" barrel.

There does not seem to be a lot of people who collect any of the variations of them, personally I have always had a weak spot for them , particuarily the Mohawk 600 and the Rem 660, because the 660 looked good to me and both of those iterations always seemed to shoot quite accurately. A local club used to have a meat shoot that was to "a legal hunting cartridge" and "no more than a 6 power scope" - using a Mohawk 600 in 222 Rem (yes, a legal hunting cartridge in Montana) I won so many times using that combo that it was hard to get people to enter when I used it.
Back when they came out I was still doing a lot of horseback hunting and they were perfect for that, they were a light weight rifle for their day, the stock fit a saddle scabbard pretty well and the dogleg handle did not protude.

There are not a lot of folks who collect them so unless it was an outstanding example I suggest you do whatever you want with it. Or you could get a Rem model 7 which is just the modern version of 600/660 action.

I like them all. I have a pair of the CVMW trigger guards ordered. I want them on all the 600s I own. I forget to look at the 673 but since based on an M7 it should have a good one on it. Be Well, RZ.

I had one built about seven years ago. The original in .308 smacked me, and I just can't handle plastic on a rifle. So I screwed on a M7 barrel in 260 Rem., got the metal trigger guard and mag., after-market trigger and had a friend stock it in French mannlicher with an ebony tip. It handles like an english 20 ga. and zaps deer and pronghhorn with 120 gr. Barnes.

Picture?

DF

Grouse Chaser can you show us a picture? It sounds like a looker as well as a shooter. Be Well, RZ.

Does the dogleg bolt fit other Remington rifles?
