Got this in a trade a few years back.
Wondering the value of it. It's a as new Rem 600 Mohawk in .308
This gun has the original Ribbed plastic on top of the barrel.
Gun is in prestine condition. Really nice walnut stalk.
_ _ _ _ _ 5 diget Serial# **MINT**

Can any of you Remingtons experts help me out. May sell it to a freind but need a ballpark value for this Rem 600.

Thanks...!

If..........??? I remember correctly the 600 is considered a throw away rifle. The bolt was manufactured from a softer steel and leads to excessive head space. It follows then that the 600 is not a keeper.

I may be full of b.s. here but it is what I remember.
As to what it is worth, whatever one will pay for it is the going price.

Good Luck

Don't know where this myth got it's origin, but the 600 is definitely not an inferior or "throw-away" action in any way. It was used to house the powerful 6.5 & 350 Rem Mags, plus a host of other high pressure offerings, and I have seen these actions with their 3rd or 4th barrel on without any headspace issues. Only thing I dislike about these actions is the funky bolt release. Regards, Eagleye.
 
If it is as new, it likely has collector value.
These rifles were underappreciated at the time, have a following now.
 
I had one in 308. The only reason I got it was because I traded off a piece of equipment that was hard to sell.
Shot the little Remington quite a bit, including several chronograph sessions.
Didn't like the rifle, would not recommend it, so sold it.
 
Don't know about the .308's but the .222's were good guns and very popular about 30-40 years ago. I believe there was a Remington factory recall to have the safety's modified on those guns and it can still be done if it hasn't already been modified.....................wTc

Yes, I envied my friend who had one in 222. Very nice.

Thanks for the insight,
I may have to keep this one.
They are sort of a neat little rifle.
I hear there was a recall on the trigger. I will see what Remington will do for me as this gun is all original never been fired buy the looks of it. If all I was going to get out of it is 450.00 to 500.00 I may as well keep it. :D
Thanks for all your PM's

I had a Rem 600 Mohawk in 308 that had been rebored to 358 W and the plastic trigger guard replaced with an aluminum kit. I also had a nice Boyd laminated stock (extra) for it.

I sold everything for $650 and have been kicking myself ever since. This is a very compact gun for bush hunting, etc. I replaced it with a BLR 81, also in 358 W but only kept it for a few months before I sold it - could not get used to a lever gun.

I went through a number of other combinations until I bought a Remington 700 SPS in 30-06 in s/s and camo stock and had it rebored to 35 Whelen and the barrel cut to 20". Hope that this last combination will do the trick.

Mohawk 600

My little .308 Mohawk carbine shoots everything well that I load for it. The 220's were a surprise when they shot an inch at 100, everyone told me they were too heavy.
I free floated it and epoxy bedded it, I then removed the irons sights to accomodate a new 6X Weaver. The plastic trigger guard was replaced with a black anodized aluminum one from CVMW in the US.
The previous owner had put sling swivels and a buttpad, this makes it a bit longer and nicer to shoot after 50-60 rounds at the bench.
I am using mostly 165 grain bullets because I have a zillion of them and they are very accurate.:D
I will be using this litle gun mostly this fall, the 300 Win mag is a bit much for the little deer we have here.
