Wondering if anyone can ID the rifle my Great Grandfather is holding:

600's have a silver bolt handle, vent rib and no forend tip.
660's are all blued, no rib and have the black forend tip
600 Mohawks are all blued, no rib, no forend tip and the heaviest barrel of the three.

The original pic is a 660.
 
What big mitts you have grandpa..........
Is that perchance a young Dr sitting there..........aye?

No. I was quite young when my great grandfather passed. That there is another relation.

Great Grandpa Story #33:

One night in downtown Quesnel my great grandfather heard something on his back porch. So he grabbed his old Colt 6 gun and went out back. Out there he found a homeless guy crawling around on the porch. He proceeded to fire of a couple rounds into the air to scare him off, which it did quite well. Soon a police officer showed up stating he had reports of gun shots. My great grandfather told him the truth. The officer promptly said he didn't hear that, wished my great grandfather a good day, and left with a smile.

That Colt was always in the side pocket of my great grandfather's chair right up until the day he passed. The gun disappeared after his passing. We have no idea who ended up with it sadly.
