Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Mohawk 600 308

I picked up a 600 mohawk in 308 . Somebody decided to stain the stock with a cherry looking stain and it was kind of sticky.
Cleaned it of with acetone and it looks great. Mounted a VarixIII 2.5-8 on the see thru weaver rings that were on it

I need to replace the dreaded bulging TG and remove the red recoil pad.
Going to try to find a factory butt plate.

Any trigger mods that will improve pull on trigger?

If the rain gets out of here tomorrow im hoping to shoot it

Got yourself a nice old classic. Had several friends that still hunt with those.

My father’s Mohawk .308 is his Old Reliable. It shoots nearly everything MOA or better. The factory triggers can be tuned well enough.

Just stuck a Timney in my 660. Had to shave the stock a fuzz with the Dremel so the safety would operate smoothly.

I just stuck a little Weaver Classic 2.5-7 in Burris Signature dual dovetails on top of it.

No opportunity to shoot it yet but have a hunch it may become a favorite treestand rifle.

I’m with you down to the see thru rings. If it was mine, they’d have to go.

Good luck with it. They generally shoot very well.

I might have one....

I'll look today.

With full power factory loads mine kicks like an angry mule. That plastic butt plate needs to be a nice thick recoil pad! But I stayed with plastic and loaded up some 125 gr bullets that about replicate a 243 Win round. Nice!

Like you, I replace the plastic trigger guard with an aluminum one. The maker sells them in the Classifieds I believe.

I bedded the lug and action on mine and now get 3 bullets touching at 50 yards. Sighted in 1-inch high at 100 yds gives me a nice little rifle for the scrawny whitetails around here. It has dropped more than a few hogs, too!

Didn’t mess with my trigger just installed a timney

You may want to stop by and pick up a mouthpiece before shooting it.

I had a 600 and a 660, the 600 in 308. The stock hit my cheek hard and kick was more than I wanted. Went from 600 to 660 in 6mm. It gave good accuracy and handling was great. A fellow hunter wanted it more than it was worth so it went home with him. The only complaint I had with mechanical workings of gun was a very stiff safety which required heavy thumb pressure to move it.

These rude little rifles aren't for the flat bill man bun crowd. These rifles were made when men were men. Isn't there a commercial that says your testosterone is lower than your dad's who's is lower than his dad.

Didnt get a chance to shoot it today. I have a model seven in 308 and a 700 mountain guide in 308. They are snappy but nothing like my old 270 ADL

Here are a couple of pics, I wish I would have taken a couple with that sticky cherry stain finish that was on it. Need to put a couple coats of truoil on the stock to reseal it after wiping it with acetone

Where’s the “like” button?

"With full power factory loads mine kicks like an angry mule. That plastic butt plate needs to be a nice thick recoil pad!"

I bought a 660 back in 1973 and yes, that gun kicked like a mule. Well, it did until my kids gifted me a set of hearing protectors. Holy cow! What happened to the kick. It was the rather vicious muzzle blast that made it seem like the rifle had serious recoil. hat rifle has undergone some serious transformation with an early H&S Precision stock and custom paint job. One of these days I'll replace the crappy plastic trigger guard floorplate. That rifle took a lot of deer many years ago.

Wouldnt mind having a 600 or 660 in 222 someday.

Imagine that....

You band those little critters too?

Fuuck the flat bill faaags......

I like 600s and 660s.
