synthetic stock for a Rem.600
I`m looking for a synthetic stock for a Remington 600 Mohawk with Shilen barrel in .358 Winchester! Anybody can help me (tips, adresses etc.)?

It's been a very long time but, I used a synthetic stock for a Rem 700 SA and modified the heck out of it to fit my 600. I couldn't find an after-market 600 stock. Fortunately, glass bedding compound can fix all the voids left from altering the 700 stock.

M-F,

Here's your best bet:

http://www.hoosiergunworks.com/catalog/ramline.html#Remington%20Misc

According to their website under Remington Misc. Stocks:

Remington M-600

Available - Model - Description - Condition - Price
5+ - 78019 - M-600/660 Mohawk - All calibers/Black Only - New $89.95

Looks like they only have @ 5 stocks remaining and probably won't be making another run for this rifle - my recco is to get one PDQ.

With the current exchange rate you'll only be out @ €uro 100,-(+/-) even with Shipping & Customs.

Good Luck with your project.


Cheers,

Lesson #1. "stocks" = "Schäfte". Good effort.

The HS works for the 600. Don't torque down the rear action screw down too far. Packy

HS Precision will make you a stock purpose-built for the M600. My hunting buddy put one on the M600 I sold him and it's quite attractive. Waidmannsheil!

Bansner High Tech makes a wonderfully designed, light weight fully fiberglass stock specifically for the 600. I just did one on a Mohawk rebarreled to 338 Federal and it turned out beautifully and 6.5#, scoped.

I used the Model 7 synthetic stock on my 600 Mohawk. I re drilled the rear tang .093 back from the original hole and tapped. It fits perfect. I used Mod. 7 bottom metal also. That's one avenue of escape. But now that more people are making stocks just for the 600 series it might be more cost effective to just order one made for it. patriot

An unfinished Bansner (high tech) stock is $250.00. Bed, pad and paint is extra or you can do it yourself. McMillan is about $450 for a complete drop in stock. I have 3 of them on my 600's. I chose the Remington Mountain Rifle pattern. Both of these stocks are ADL versions

There is a simple remedy to fix those noisy stocks. Get a can of that expanding foam stuff used for insulation at a hardware store. I forget the price but I think is was something like $4 or $5 for a can which will do quite a few stocks. Mask the heck out of the stock at the butt for a good distance and completely mask the forearm. (This it for a Butler Creek stock BTW, but it works on the Ramlines as well.) On the barrel, if it is free floated use two layers of electricians tape to maintain the free float or one layer if not wanted to maintain the free float. Mask the butt of the stock covering a goodly area and remove one scerew from the butt plate/ recoil pad and loosen the other just enough to let the pad swivel. Do the butt first, but do not try to fill the entire cavity. Watch the expansion and when it gets close to reaching the overflow point quickly swing the buttplate/recoil pad into postion and snug it down tight. Now you'll know why the emphasis on proper masking of the areas. That stuff expands very fast. Now comes the forearm. Again, don't try for a complete fill, and be ready to very quickly drop the rifle into the stock and with masking tape, hold the barreled action in place. Let it sit for 24 hours and you can do the final assembly and clean up the overflow and masking. it's a good idea BTW to mask the entire barrel, top and bottom.
I have an FN Mauser 30-06 that I glass bedded into a Butler Creek stock and gave it the "foam" treatment. It was a bit easier to do than most because it had a trap door in the buttplate and I shot the foam into the butt through the trap door. The nice thing about that foam is it gets quite solid and literally adds little weight to the rifle.
You could fill the hollows with glass bedding but that would cause a serious increase in the rifle's weight, and I don't think you want that.
Anyway, that's how I stopped the "booming" of a synthetic stock.
