Gordon,about the stocks.
The original 600 with vent rib had Walnut stocks and most Mohawks had hardwood such as Birch.
Somehow or another my Mohawk in 308 which is a 1972 first year production has a Walnut stock and I bought the rifle from the original owner.
So I guess it is possible that early Mohawks,at least some,did have Walnut stocks.

Fwiw I got into a bidding war a couple of years ago on a brand new factory Rem. Mohawk
stock and it sits in the gun safe as I type this waitng to be used.
It is a hardwood stock.
 
i love the wood on mine. i dont have the vent rib :-(
wish it did.
 
Hi Ranger.

That's my wifes buck, (her best to date), she shot him at a ranged 315 yds. (also a personal best), with a Swift Scirocco 150 gr.

One of the most perfectly placed shots I have witnessed, that girl can really shoot.

He made it about 30yds. before piling up.

I have owned 4 Remington 600's ( two 6.5's and two 350's ), 2 Remington 660's ( one 6.5 and one 350 ) and two Mohawks in 6mm / 308 and think they are some of the very best rifles ever made in their original price range ( sold them all to fund two subgun buys ) !

I hunted with each of them over a 12-13 year period and found them to be outstanding in the field. Took 4 Mulies and 2 Whitetail during that time. One shot, one deer each time. These guns are fine hunting rifles.

They carry light / well, especially the R600's and they have WELL above average accuracy in general.

I think the Mohawk's 18.5" barrel length is BETTER suited ( read efficient ) to certain calibers than others, but if you like and use a certain caliber say 222 / 243 / 6mm it would still be an fine gun. And you might want to check barrel twist rates v. bullet weights to make sure you are going to be happy with the sort of shooting you plan on doing.

I am 6'5, weigh 230 and have loooog arms and I LIKE them A LOT. Just bought another R660 in 350RM and this time I'M NOT SELLING IT. I swear...!

Good luck. Lj
 
600 & 600 Mohawk

What is the difference in the two. I know the mohawk was 1972-1979 and the 600 was 1965-1968. But does the mohawk have a rib ?Does it say mohawk on the rifle? I have a 660 in 350 & a 600 in 308. Just trying to find out what sets them apart. Thanks Dan
 
iirw, the 660's were usually the mag cals, and usually had lam stocks; like the 6.5 , and the 350.
the 600's were usually the vent rib, and the mohawks were everything else, plainer wood, and had the bigger cals I think, with the larger cals.
 
I know this is an old thread and I just found this site by parsing for the 600 Mohawk.
I recently bought a friend's .222 that is absolutely mint condition. It also has an original Colorado Redfield 3x-9x Tracker scope with it. The date code on the barrel says it's a '73 model. He said it has been fired 3 times at a jack rabbit. The scope needs training <grin> It still has the original lock bolt and probably will forever. Id like to replace the original with a thumbhole stock. It there an aftermarket for the Mohawk besides the Ram-Line?

BTW, I'm a shooter from the North Texas area that really likes smaller calibers like the
.22 , 204, etc. I own a Marlin 22WMR Papoose, Remington mod70 22-250, H&R .223, H&R 204 Ruger and an old Savage 22 High Power. I have been wanting his .222 Mohawk for years but he said that he wanted to site it in and shoot it. Well.... you know the rest ;)
 
Love and Hate!

I've always had a love affair with the 600 and 660, but I will never understand what Remington was thinking when they chambered these light, short barreled rifles in butt kicking rounds like the 350 and 6.5 Rem. Mags.. Both calibers bring big premiums from collectors but they are not any fun to shoot.:eek: You need a scope with 5" of eye relief and a pair of earplugs.
 
Welcome to THR, slow55.

Congratulations on your 600 Mohawk acquisition. You may be able to find a stock of your liking by searching online.
Richard's Microfit stocks show the 600 Mohawk as one of the action inlet choices, but you may need to have some wait time after you order. They call for 8 week delivery time. Scan around their site and/or call them to see if they might have anything available.

Here's the link to their site.

I have a 222 Rem in a 722 myself. The 222 Rem is a sweet round and was totally designed for accuracy.

I have one. MY grandfather gave it to me when i turned 12 for my first deer rifle. Its been with me for 16 years. Its a 6mm rem 18" barrel, gold trigger and no vent rib. Love shooting it, especially in the eve :what:

I shot a few doe's and my first buck with it when i was 18,8pt with 15" spread, that was back before the antler restrictions in PA. It took me 6 years but i stuck to my guns on not shooting a scrub.

It hasn't been into the woods for about 2 years, Only because i built a 308win (my first gun build) that i have been trying to get a kill other than paper with, and my g/f got me a 300wby vanguard and i had been carrying that since she got it for me 2weeks before bear season came in.

fast forward.

Well this season i bagged my first black bear with the 300 webby, so i'll most likely be trying to get a doe or buck with my 308 since this is the first i have doe hunted in 5 years. with that said, the mohawk might go for a walk :D after i mount a scope on it again (old weaver died)
 
Welcome to the THR SLOW55
Congrats on your Mohawk 600. Now you belong to the Cult.
If you ever want to sell that stock let me no. ill buy it from you
 
Wow an older thread revisted.
As an owner of several of these rifles I say HANG on to that .222.
The .222 which I dont own along with the 35 Remington,followed by the 6mm(which I do own) are getting harder to come by in good condition as Father time rolls on.
Truely those factory stocks in good condition are really HARD to come by.
I own a brand new never mounted factory stock and I had to bleed two bills to get it!!
Yes Ramline has a plastic stock for these guns but I have no idea what quality they are.

An earlier poster or two asked what the difference was between the old 1964-67 built vent rib model and the Mohawks built between 72-79.
Well for one the orginal vent rib uses a smaller contour barrel than the Mohawk.
I have been told the Mohawks are nothing more than a cut down model 700 barrel.
I would not doubt it and frankly I like it better as it's my opinion it's a bit stiffer than the vent rib model.
The vent ribs had a walnut stock and are a bit lighter than the Mohawks because of this and lighter barrel.
Although my 1972 built .308 Mohawk has a walnut stock so some early Mohawks obviously had them.
The sights on the guns are different as the vent rib had a neat looking shark fin front sight.
I think it looks pretty nice myself.
The Mohawks have "Mohawk" stamped on the rifle.
I have never fired one of these rifles that did not shoot lights out.
In some ways Remington was way ahead of the game when they brought these rifles out but at the time they were not such great sellers...But they are today.
Again these rifles are getting harder to come by in good clean condition and I can say straight up when I come across an individual at a gun show with one in good shape I usually buy it if the price is right.

Heeler, Mine weighs out at 8.2 lbs with the redfield scope. Heavier than I expected for a carbine but ligher than my Nazi 98 for sure.

Husker, I'll have to keep the original . Mine is pristine and I dont want to nick it up as I am a bit hard on them in the brush. I'll store it when I find a replacement. I'd get the ramline but I'm just not a fan of black plastic stocks although they serve a purpose. My folder on my 10/22 is a ramline and pretty decent quality but it looks too comando for a sporter. My .300 wsm also has a black plastic stock and I guess my age prevents me from appreciating the post 64 "budget" Remington model 70s styling. But It shoots like a $1000 dollar rifle so I cant part with it either.
I saw a clean but not "as clean" 600 Mohawk .308 at a gun show last weekend tagged for $600 with rings but no scope. I asked what his lowest price was and he frowned and said $650. lol
Thanks for coming back to this old thread. I think I have a real keeper!

Yes,you do have a clean 600 Slow.
And again the .222'S are starting to command a premium in price.
That older scope is part of the weight issue.
Wished you could pick up my 600 in .308 with it's 2x7 Leupold VX-1 scope.
Light.
 
AWWW
Gold trigger & all.
Mine looks a lil more geek-e. I put see threw rings on it years & years ago. For the occasional 35 to 50 yard shot on the Yotes. I wish i had a stick with a notch for every Coyote My dad & I have dropped with it. It would be a long stick.
try the 40 grn V-max made by fiocchi.
 
I've owned/hunted with both, 600's and 660's... Only one 350 mag. stands out, I remember shooting moose with it and not being too impressed.

To be honest, I didn't care for them and as for the 350 mag. is concerned, it was the wrong cartridge for that short action. It just didn't handle the heavier bullets well, as the action is a bit short for that cartridge, that is "if" you want the 350 for a "bigger" big game, rifle/cartridge...

I later bought a Ruger 77 chambered for the 350 and it was a much better action for the 350 mag......but in the end, for brown bear/moose I really wasn't impressed with the 350 and moved on...

Can anyone tell about this rifle in 6mm. I know nothing about either, but have always wanted one. I currently hunt with a Tikka 243.
