who owns a REM MOHAWK 600

I have had one in .308 that I have had for about 28 years. It is the best handling gun I have ever had. Great shooter. It is my all around deer and hog gun. I love it and wouldn't trade it for anything. I have modified mine by shaving down the stock, adding an aftermarket floor plate/trigger guard and glass bedding it. I also had an external bolt release added. I don't give a hoot in hell about the collector value. It will go to my son, when I'm dead. Until then, it is my main shooter.

best field rifle , ever. most calibers and weird ones, ever. Have gone up Wehh, hhe , hayyy to much in value over the last 3 years. but one in great shape, with the giant step up rear site, full vent rib, and giant front site, can really float my boat. Have one in 6milly, 308, and a older cousin, a remmy 788, in 243.
If you have one in 223, then you really got something...

Traded my 600 in .243 in 1978. to this day I rue letting it go. My brother still has his.

I got mine in .243, 18 inch barrel. Traded for a Yugo SKS. I think I did OK.
There was a trigger recall. I understand that if your trigger is not gold color you need to return it for the fix.

Fireman

.... really ....

remind me not to stand next to you in a electric storm, fireman!

There was a recall due to problems with the trigger having a/d's under certain conditions. Trigger's that were fixed will be stamped with the letter v.

I got mine a few years ago from my grandfather, before he passed. He bought it new in the early 70's. It's chambered in 6mm Remington, and is an all around sweet gun.

I had one back in the 70s...In 243 win . It was a neat little rifle. And very accurate.

One day I made the mistake of telling my 1st ex-spouse that it was hers since she could shoot it without any problems.

Then I went on a short 6 week deployment to Central America........
Upon my return I soon discovered that the little dummy had sold the rifle, the Buehler rings, reloading dies and my new scope for two-hundred bucks in beer and pizza money. She was such a moron.

I'll bet it is worth some big bucks now .....

WadeH's testimonial is true, I have both shot his rifle and watched him make some pretty amazing shots with it for a verrry long time.

I've had uite a few of them . It was in vogue in the late 70s /early 80s to have Chet Brown turn them down into hand crafted 5 pound Ultra Lights then. I back packed hunted my 2 many a kilometer in the hills. They also were the base for the original Scout Rifle concept. I had one of those built too.Then there was the "fireplug" .350Rem Magnum version - ohh rahh !
My last foray into 600 Mohawk Territory was the BullPup repeater I had Kodiak Precision build me on a Western Gunstock Laminated blank. It turned out pretty heavy at 7 3/4 pounds with no scope . It had a thin 18" .308 barrel with magnaport that I just had replaced with a thicker Lilja .243 Winchester 21" which I think will make a nice compact long range Varmint/deer gun.

MR. Firman

Actually we don't know that for sure. He said:

That's ambiguous - saying traded "for" could me that he traded off the Mohawk, in order to get the SKS, AFTER he "got" his in .243. Or it could mean that he traded an SKS in order to get the Mohawk, and so that's HOW he "got" his in .243. Which did you mean fireman?

In any event, I always thought it was weird that the 600's WITH the rail were NOT called Mohawks, but the 600s withOUT the rail (without the 'mohawk') are called Mohawks.

Nice little rifles, for sure.

Mine is .222. A little bedding done and timney trigger. First centerfire rifle I purchased and my favorite.

I thought the Mohawk was a magazine-frd nylon .22? Model 10-C?

my .308 mohawk is a gem bought from a close friend that owns a gun shop,an old guy came in and didnt want to renew his "A" cat gun license the rifle had been under his bed he reckoned for 20 plus years it was well kept and in totally near brand new condition.....i lucked out and picked it up for a song,put a leupold 3x9 on it and a duralium overbarrel suppresor, it shoots and handles like a dream ,wouldnt part with it for quits.....incidently the trigger recall was a remington recall on model 600 rifles due to an accidental discharge problem ,when the trigger was pulled with the safety on,then when the safety was flicked back to fire some with the fault would discharge before the trigger was pulled,351Winchester is right when he says the rifles that have been recalled and modified are marked with a v stamped on the trigger,also any 600 with a s/n starting with an "A' is not affected and totally safe to use, i guess with any gun faulty or not if basic firearm rules are adhered to ie always point the gun in a safe direction the worst someone can get is a hell of a fright, but sadly as gun owners all over the world know some people dont and consequently become statistics.The Remington 600 Mohawk has to go down in history as one of the classic rifles of its time.

happy to post pics if any one wants a look.

Well to set the thread straight; the word "Mohawk" was used by Remington in two ways. It was used to describe the "Mohawk Brown" color of Nylon stocks, in the 66 and10 series .22s. It was also used on plain jane "hardwood" stocked price leader 600 series rifles which had the word "Mohawk" on the side of the reciever. I have 600s that don't have that, and I have some that do. I actually bought a .243 and a .308 Mohawk at a Montgomery Wards that was going out of business in Salinas in 1979 for $90 each. These had a cheaper looking stock than the earlier 6oo marked carbines and had no plastic rib. I think the 660 series carbines were being sold at the time , in uptown gunstores, with a ribless 20" barrel instead of the 18" , and a Walnut stock . The Laminated stock Magnums (6.5 & .350) were out there too. I think calibers were .222, .223,.243Win, (I never saw a .244 or 6mm Rem -perhaps too long?)6.5Rem Mag,.308 , .35 Remington (got one of those, pretty rare!) and .350 Rem Mag. The .30-30 and the .44mag were in the 788 Remington (got those too) . The Model 7 replaced the 600 series in the mid 80s

the most under rated of the cals in this rifle, were the 350, the 6.5 mag, and the 6milly; all of them extreme rockets, in such a handy, light package. I love the post above mentioning someone doing custom work on them, to turn them into 5 pounders. The 350 could proly take any game in north america, including bears. Love the%2

Go to deer rifle.
Super, super accurate.

600 Mohawk in 660 stock.

Nice - that's the best kind of lever, ain't it, leverlover? The kind that goes up, back, forward, and down!

I own several including a 1964 first year production vent rib 600 in 6mm.
I killed the best buck of my 46 years of deer hunting with that little carbine.
I love those little rifles and always carry one deer hunting.
My Mohawk in .243 can fire a 100 yard three shot group using Federal blue box ammo into a group that can be covered with a dime with nothing showing past the dimes edges.
I have killed scores of deer and hogs with it and every 600 i own.

About the triggers.
The recall is for ANY model 600 that does not have a serial number that has an "A" prefix before the serial number.
None of mine have gone off after flipping the safety into the fire position and I have tried every way I can think of to fake it out without success.
But I have known of three owned by others that would fire like that.
The gold trigger models are usually first year productions as is mine in 308.
All of mine carry a light compact 2x7 scope such as a Leupold or Nikon Monarch.
I prefer the Leupold dual dovetail mount and rings as these are really strong.
These little rifles have really picked up with collectors are even one in not so good of shape now is around $400.00.
And to think I bought one in 1975 for a mere $99.00.
Unfortunately I sold it to buy another rifle that as it turns out I did not like as much and worse it was later stolen.

SAH hah he HAS a 6mm Remington! Kewl Beans!
