Remington 600 Mohawk in 222 cal.

I had one that was rechambered from 222 to 223. It shot one hole groups at 100 with 40 and 45 grain handloads. Trigger was nice as well.
Nice little rifle in a compact package. As for price, I'd comfortably pay between $400 and $500 if it was mint.
 
With the exception of the silly bolt release, the plastic bottom & trigger guard, and the "dogleg" bolt handle, these are great little rifles.
Most shoot very well, and are handy to carry.

A couple coyote hunting buddies back in Sask. had them and swore by them for being a dependable little rifle for that purpose.
Years ago there was a gunsmith in Regina who re-chambered a lot of different 222s to 223 for a reasonable sum.
He did theirs and a Sako for that worked really well for me, but I'd still like to find one of those little Remingtons.
 
If you reload, there is really not much reason to ream out the chamber. If you don't want to reload, there are more options in .223 on the market.

But it seems an unnecessary thing to do.

Nice little carbines.

Dunno about prices.

Hi They are great little rifle, I use to have one with a vented rib in 222. I love to find one in 6mm rem. Is this one for sale ( :
 
Back in the 80s I had one and liked it - a 600 Mohawk in 222Rem wearing a 10x fixed Tasco ( parallax adjustable objective). Nice little chuck/yote gun. Lotsa chucks bit it with that combo. Very accurate/useful to 200yds on small targets. Sent it down the road at Epps a few years back in a moment of weakness.
 
rechambering if not to expensive ,would be an offer you economical practise round choices aka all the bulk .22FMJ ammo available, and humpteen more sporting factory choices for sure. If you handload ,or just want to shoot the odd coyote in wooded type settings, the .222 is accurate, gentle little round, especially if you handload. When asked how the .222 stacked up against the .223, I used to point to the .300Savage compared the .308Winchester. Very similar round, with the latter a little more horsepower, and doing the exact same thing, just doing it a little further along the trail.
