Our Assessment: ?The Remington Model 660, introduced in the mid-1960s, was one of the most unique bolt-action sporting rifles of its era. Chamberings ranged from common .222 and .308 calibers to the then-new .350 Remington Magnum, which was the first short magnum cartridge introduced on the American market. While the .350 Rem. Mag. was ahead of its time, its combination of magnum power in a compact carbine platform created a reputation for hard-hitting performance on big game in a lightweight package.
This example, manufactured in 1969, is chambered in .350 Remington Magnum and 20″ barrel. It wears its original laminated walnut stock, complete with pressed checkering and fluted comb, showing moderate handling wear in the form of scratches, scuffs, and dings but remaining free of cracks and still fitting tightly to the barreled action. The rifle retains about 97% of its original blued finish and light operational wear. The bore, is excellent—bright with sharp rifling and no erosion, rating a full 10/10 in this writer’s opinion. Mechanically, the rifle functions properly with a smooth action and a clean, crisp trigger. Collectors and shooters alike prize the Model 660 for its distinctive design and historical place as the launch platform for the .350 Remington Magnum. While initially met with limited commercial success, rifles like this have become highly sought after for their rarity, innovative engineering, and undeniable utility in the field. For those looking to add an uncommon yet historically significant Remington to their collection, this Model 660 in .350 Rem. Mag. is a standout piece.
