Remington 600 6mm BR Build

[Chappy]

I bought this project as a Remington 600 Mohawk barrel action about 6 years ago for a whopping $400. It came with 400 pieces of Rem 6BR brass and redding dies. I was told it is a krieger barrel. 1-14" Twist finished at 20". I had a local smith open up the barrel channel on this Boyd's thumbhole to accommodate the heavier barrel and glass bedded it. I tuned up the trigger myself, installed a steel aftermarket trigger guard and outfitted it with a Warne base and rings. Topped it off with a 4-16x44mm Vortex Viper I had laying around. I started load work with IMR 8208XBR, 65 gr. V-Maxes, and CCI BR-4s. So far it's showing promise to be a sweet walking prairie dog rifle. Manage to shoot 4 shots inside of an inch at 400 yards. Still need to do some more verification on the load, but over all I m very satisfied with this "low budget" build and figured I would share here.

Good morning
Those old Mohawks are great, one of my light weight squirrel rifles is a Mohawk action a High Tech light weight stock with a Hart 1/14 twist barrel turned as small as I could get it, chambered in 22 BR, I built this rifle for a client that had some unforeseen financial issue when it came time to pick it up. So I'm stuck with a light weight rifle I didn't really want, since I already was shooting 22 BR I took it to the range to test fire and break in the barrel. I fired the first shot on the target and could see the bullet hole , I fired 2 more shots and couldn't see new bullet holes, I was disappointed to say the least until I walked down range and saw all 3 shots in the almost the same hole.
That was twenty two years ago, this is still one of my go to rifles today.
Ya'll have a great day.

I had E.R. Shaw rebarrel my 600 with a 22", 1:9 twist heavy sporter contour in .223 a number of years ago. It languished in my safe until last year when I broke it out to compete in our club's 200 yard benchrest matches. It managed to acquit itself well enough generally producing sub 1/2 MOA groups with 73 grain Bergers when I did my part.
