You bought another wood stocked rifle to "replace" your current wood stocked rifle?
Head-scratching.
Huh?
Why not have a stainless synthetic setup for poor weather & KEEP the 600 as your fair weather setup?
You bought it used. Who ever owned it prior got some rust and cleaned it up with steel wool. Send it off to Eddie Fosnaugh and have it cerkoted.

Get it in a McMillan fiberglass stock, then you'll actually use it all the time. Buy a Remington SPS Stainless 30-06, replace the trigger with a Timney or Jewell or Rifle Basix. Have the full action bedded in Accra Glass gel and mount a Leopold VX-2 3-9X40mm onto Talley Lightweight rings/bases...
I have read on numerous boards that Remington took steps to improve the jam o matic tendencies exhibited in the 742. I know of hunters who use the 740 with no issues. But I'd still rather carry a Browning Automatic Rifle.
Speed kills effectively, as does foot pounds and large holes. A 223 is plenty to kill deer, and a 45-70 is more than enough. I think that most folks can agree that somewhere in the middle is great. A 6.5mm on up through 7.62mm is a happy place for most applications.
