Days of yore....

I used to have a rem 600 in .222 back in the '70's. Traded it for a ruger 22-250 liberty model that was a total piecer. The Mohawk was the finest spotlighting rifle I ever had, and I've been missing her ever since. Finally replaced her.....

Between this and K22's ruger 204 UL, my kimber Montana 204 is set back a while.....

Thats a fine looking rifle. The 222 rem has interested me as a fox/bobcat round. How is it on pelts?

It's just a cheap piece of birch. I couldn't afford the walnut...

Oh man, that does bring back memories. That is a really nice 600. Heck, it looks almost new. I had one for years and at one point I installed it in a MPI synthetic stock. I shot that thing so much it finally got so it wouldn't group any more. Instead of rebarreling it, I traded it off. Dumb mistake. I still have several bases laying around for the 600. I even have a couple of aluminum bases I had made that were copies of the old Weaver one piece steel base that for the 600.
You can be real proud of that Mohawk Huntsman22.

Thanks, Jim. It looks almost new because it is....Unfired in the box, but 40+ years old...

When I was looking at the side of that bolt I thought to myself, man, that thing looks brand new. Great find. I like the looks of that Redfield scope on it, any opinions on the new Redfields?

I've heard good things about them. That UL will be real happy with a 3-9 on it.
I've always had a love affair with the 600's. I can't remember how many I've owned, but my 3 favorites were the 222 Rem. I mentioned, a 6.5 Rem. mag., and a 6mm that I restocked in a BSA Monarch stock. The last 2 I was keeping forever, but they left in a divorce. :cry: Tough way to go.

Wow Don, that looks much better than when I had it. I really like that stock on it. Oh, and it's total Coyote count was only 5, but it went 5 for 5. :D
