I've found a lead on a rifle (Remington 600 Mohawk in .308) that really interests me and would like to get some peoples opinions about it. I know some deficiencies that it has through some research such as:
1. Safety Recall on the Trigger
Solution: I will probably test it myself but in the end probably replace the trigger with a Timney Trigger with replacement safety (~$150.00)
2. Plastic Floorplate and Triggerguard
Solution replace with a Coquille Valley Machine Works CNC'd replacement (~$80.00 shipped)
3. I understand that most people say that due to the light weight of the rifle that it will have some significant recoil.
Why I want this is that I have an affinity for carbine length guns, and this seems like just the ticket for a good hunting rifle that is easy to carry and maneuver. I'm under the impression that the barrel is good for about 4-5 shots in a row before the groups start opening up. But the majority of people have said that they can shoot around MOA with the right ammo on a cold bore.
The fellow is asking $375 for the rifle and he says its in really good shape minus the fact that a previous owner scratched his Social Security # into the receiver just above the manufacturer's marks. The owner says it doesn't appear that it has been shot all that much. I know that most of these older 600's have been being sold more in the $600+ range, so it appear that if the condition is as stated it would be a really good deal.
Looking for any opinions on this particular rifle, and options on removing and rebluing the area where the SS# is scratched in.
Thanks in advance for the replies.

(but I know those you are talking about and it is frustrating to say the least)," but would like to know what others think. I will probably purchase it, but am always open to suggestions and insight that I don't have or am not seeing. And it sounds like if I don't like it I could sell it without loosing any money down the road.
