my m660 transformation

[leadchucker62]

good day everyone:
i picked up a remington m660 in .243 win made in 1967.
it was a goofy looking thing with it's long stock and short barrel.
but man could this thing shoot,with handloads it'll shoot 87 grainers into 1/2" @ 100yds.
but someone had messed with the recall replaced trigger and i was'nt very confident in it.
and the plastic trigger guard.wtf
so i made it mine!
heres a few pics of the before and after.
what do you think?

so,i found a very nice claro walnut gary goudy designed stock(it's just beutiful)and replaced the crappy factory trigger with a timney unit(2.75lbs) and i ordered a alloy trigger guard from cvmw in the usa. i also upgrade the scope to a bushnell elite 3200 4-12 x50 mm.

so what do you think?
ps i kept the original parts just in case someday i want to change it back.

Looks fantastic. And a shooter? What more could a guy want?

 

[Mike Webb]

Nice job, you got yourself a real slick looking little rifle there. Just curious, what did you have to throw for the stock?

 

[RickF]

Beautiful little rifle, you have good reason to be proud!

 

[Rembo]

Good job, but I would have made flat bottom metal like a 722 sort of thing.


but,....there's nothing one could do a 600/660 to endear it to me.....

Nice job. All the 600/660 rifles I've owned (at least a half dozen by now) were all good shooters. - dan

Where did you buy or who made the stock?

m660

good day:
i picked the stock up off a gentelman in the usa.
he had it custom made from poreless claro walnut for a rifle,but sold the rifle as is.
he paid 650.00 us for it and i got it for 325 us.
i truely lucked out on this stock,it's a real beuty.

Yeah you did, that is by far the nicest 600/660 stock I have seen. Nice job.

 

[Rory McCanuck]

Actually, I thought the old stock looked nice, just the forearm
was about 6" too long.
The new stock looks really nice though.

 

[saskcop]

That is one nice, classic rig.

Nicely done, and the improvement undoubtedly makes the rifle better handling. If I am permitted to make one small criticism, it is that you have too much scope on too little rifle. What I mean is the scope "looks too big" where a compact would provide a more balanced appearance. Having said that, a 4-12 is a good choice for a .243 that will be used in open country.

 

[dan belisle]

Burris makes a compact 4-12 if memory serves. - dan
