i recently picked up one in 308 winchester 18.5 barrel,can anyone tell me what the twist is,i know its either 1-10 or 1-12 but which??? ...thanks in advance jjmp

I wish I knew this as well. I believe mine is going to get a custom .308 barrel at 20" and a little bit heavier. Anyone have the answer to this question? Packy

Place a tight fitting Patch on your cleaning rod and run it in the barrel, with the rifle laying on it's side. Put your finger tip over the end of the barrel so you get all the way to the end and stop.

Mark the cleaning rod where it is extending out of the Receiver with a Magic Marker right where it is sticking out. Pull the cleaning rod out and watch the Mark. Once the Mark "rotates" back on top, measure from the Mark to the Receiver and you will know for sure what the Twist Rate is.

Best of luck to both of you.

According to the table in the Speer Reloading Manual Number 11 the M600 has a twist rate of 1 in 10"

Cheers, Al

Remington has always twisted its .308's 1:10 except for those more recent models sold as varmint rifles - they're 1:12.

thank you all very much, now i''m even more excited,john g your rite on i had a 700 varmint that i had a custom pipe put on,regards jjmp

Great rifles...I picked this one up two years ago... Paid too much for it but it was mint...



Found a set of original Leupold scout mounts on ebay and a 60s vinatge Redfield IER scope at a local shop...

I've always liked the idea of the 600, maybe one in 243 will come up one of these days..

rjm,nice setup you got there,thanks 4 the picture..... mine came with a weaver base and i mounted and older vx3 1.5x5 scope on it,with burris low zee rings..... i think it''ll be fine in the timber for elk...i''m testing barnes 130 xlc boatails and plain barnes 140 boatails,never thought i''d own a carbine in this lifetime.....but she''s in the stable, and earning her keep,regards 2 all jjmp

I love my Remington M 600's.
