Our Assessment: The Remington Model 600 occupies a distinctive place in postwar American sporting rifle history, representing Remington’s bold departure from traditional long-action hunting rifles during the mid-1960s. Introduced as a compact, fast-handling bolt action, the Model 600 paired a short barrel with powerful chamberings, none more emblematic than the .350 Remington Magnum. This combination created a rifle intended for dense timber, steep terrain, and decisive performance at close to intermediate ranges, and it remains one of the most recognizable carbines of its era.
This example dates to March 1965, placing it squarely within the early production window and qualifying it as C&R eligible. The rifle retains approximately 98 percent of its original blued finish, with only light, superficial handling marks visible across the metal surfaces. Markings remain clear and legible throughout, and the bore is bright with sharp rifling, rating a strong 10/10, indicating excellent internal condition. The vent rib shows the expected oxidation commonly encountered on Model 600 rifles, a normal characteristic rather than a defect. The press-checkered laminate stock presents very well, with intact gloss finish, defined checkering, and only minor scattered handling marks.
Mechanically, the rifle functions correctly, with the bolt and safety operating as intended. The short 18 1/2 inch vent-rib barrel, factory iron sights, and drilled-and-tapped receiver preserve the original configuration that made the Model 600 so distinctive and effective in the field. Overall, this is a well-preserved and highly representative example of Remington’s most unconventional sporting rifle, combining historical significance, powerful chambering, and excellent overall condition.
