The balance of the finish shows light surface corrosion starting to form on the barrel, and corrosion and light pitting on the bolt. The action shows light operational wear on the friction surfaces. There is some thinning finish on the back of the bolt and on the bolt handle. The markings are clear and legible. The screw heads are sharp. Overall, this rifle rates in Good condition.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This rifle comes with the sling and scope mount as mentioned above.
Our Assessment: A compact, purpose-built centerfire from Remington’s short-barrel era: the Model 600 was introduced in the mid-1960s as a lightweight, fast-handling rifle platform, and only a small number of Magnum-chambered Model 600s were produced. The .350 Remington Magnum was introduced by Remington in 1965 as a high-velocity .35-caliber magnum developed to give the compact 600 Magnum serious big-game performance; the cartridge and the short-barrel magnum offerings are directly tied to that brief period of Remington experimentation with compact magnum hunting rifles.
This particular Model 600 in .350 Remington Magnum presents as a well-preserved example of that concept: the metal and bluing are largely strong with only light surface corrosion beginning to form in places and some light pitting on the bolt, the stock and checkering show normal handling wear and the fit of the barreled action is tight. The bore is bright with sharp rifling and the action and serviceability were noted in the mechanics section. Please check out our high quality photos, and good luck on your bids! – J.D.
