3 X 4 Mule deer from Northeastern Oregon. .243 Mohawk with a 4x Burris scope, 100 gr hand loads. I like them because they're a nice compact rifle that works well from horse back.

There a nice little gun and I have shot a lot of mule deer and coyotes with one . ;) Outlaw

Dary,
That model 600 of yours looks like it needs a tuneup or something, so you had better send it to me via overnight mail. Don't worry sir, I will have one of my kin send it back to ya after I am dead.:)

Guys,
If I had a model 600 Remington in .243, I would hang up my other calling rifles and just use the model 600. Those little carbines are really sweet. I once owned a model 600 "Mohawk", which I believe is a poor man's version of the regular model 600. Same rifle with cheapo stock. Mine was in .308 caliber and was a real tack driver.:)

Rich,

You're going to have to stand in line for it. A young lady in Walla Walla, WA. has custody of it now and has used it quite sucessfully the last two seasons for deer and now I can't pry it out of her hands. I'm very please that she likes it!!!!

Guys,
I just remembered that the "Mohawk" really is not the same rifle as regular model 600. Same action, and shoots just as well but I do believe that those regular model 600's had a ventilated rib. I saw one once that had a beautiful laminated stock too.

Dary,
The stock on yours appears to be high quality walnut with checkering and everything. Is that an after market stock?

[Dary]

I don't know, it was what was on it when I bought it and it had been refinished prior to my ownership.

[marrio11]

Mine was refinished as well, and seems to have the exact same stock.
Are you able to remove the bolt for cleaning purposes?

[Dary]

Yes, the bolt will come out. Pull the bolt back until it stops, look on the left rear of the receiver. There is a bolt stop there. Push the bolt slightly forward and using a small punch or screwdriver push the bolt stop down and retract the bolt from the receiver. As you retract the bolt you will need to lift it slightly to clear the right lug over the safety. If you want to have more information on how to take it down further I have the information available and would e-mail it to you if you want it. This includes how to take the bolt apart for cleaning.

[marrio11]

Send what you can when you can. I would greatly appreciate it!!

I'll scan it into my computer tomorrow and send to you. I just finished a 13 hour shift and have to go back to work in 7 hours. It will be sometime after 7:30 Am PST. I'm headed to bed.

I too have a Rem. model 600. Mine is in 6mm Rem. I just love that little gun! It shoots great and it is what I use for coyote and other varmit.

I have wanted to get something in a smaller cal. for varmits but I can't seem to pick up any other rifle when I go coyote hunting.

The difference between the 600 and the 600 mohawk was the regular 600 had a vent. rib and the mohawk did not. They were made from 1964 to 1967. Only the 6.5mm mag and the 350 rem mag. had the laminated stock in the 600

I'm not sure about the 660, but I think it was the same. The regular calibers had the standard wood and the magunms sported the laminated wood. They were made from 1968 to 1971. I do know the 660 stocks had a black pistol grip cap and forend tip.

My 600 has the original stock however someone before me had removed the rib. They did a good job as it is very hard to see where the barrel studs were, but I just wish they would have left it alone.

There was a model 600 Montana Territorial Centennial made in 1964 only and it sported a very fancy wood stock with a medallion in the buttstock. I would love to have one of those!
