Remington Model 600, in .35 Rem, number of units m

hunter63
Got a question boys.
I am tring to verify the number of Rem Model 600 in .35 Rem that were made.

I tried a search, but couldn't couldn't find much.
I also tried a Remington based forum site, no response?

I do have one, gift from my MIL,( Cool, huh?) and now while on my road trip I found another for sale for $900. (thinking a little steep for me)

Anyway, the guy claims that there were only 3029 made, that is why he's asking $900 bucks.
I called him and he said he got his info from gunbroker, so here I am.
I sure that there are records out there somewhere, so I'm just trying to verify his claim.

Any ideas?

    I do believe that that number is correct . I have a friend that has one , and knows his 600 stats forward and backwards . I'd like to rechamber one to .358 Win. !

    Why not just get one in 350 Remington Mag?

    I think I paid $425 for mine--of course that's been a while ago. A guy I worked with back in the 80's had one, too, so I guess they are not really rare--3,000+ sounds about right. Should make a great deer gun IMO.

    Thanks, boys, I was kinda hoping for a site that listed the number.

    I know there aren't a lot around, but this guy claimed he got his info here.

    Anyway, Thanks again.

    TSR1965 , I had a 600 in 350 Mag back in 1967 , that was a very uncomfortable gun to shoot ! I wish I could sell it today instead of 40+ years ago !

    Hunter: The Remington Model 600 (not the Mohawk) is a rifle that was made for Pennsylvania whitetail hunting. I purchased mine in Hales Corners, Wis. at a J.C Penny catalog store ($77.99) in November, 1969. Subsequently I traveled for about 7 seasons to PA for deer hunting. Carrying this little rifle with the .35 bore brushbuster cartridge during our famous (or infamous) PA deer drives) made the effort simpler.

    During the ensuing years I have not heard much of the Model 600 AND 35 Rem cartridge; as a matter of fact only in one article, and most recently I observed a man walking around a gun show with one of these scarce rifles. I have not seen a 35 Rem Model 600 at a gun show in the past 7 years since time permitted me to enjoy this past time.

    Here is some data that I got from several sources. The rifle was produced from 1963 and started at serial number 1,000. Production stopped in 1968 when the Model 660 took over and continued until serial number 131,552 when in November, 1968 the numbering system was changed to start at 6,200,000. This number sequence was continued when the model 660 was replaced by the Mohawk 600 in 1971. The Blue Book says that 94,086 were manufactured 1963 - 1968. My Model 600 is SN 25,494. The .223 Rem was the rarest (315 made) followed by the .35 Rem (you say 3,029) and .222 Rem. cartridges. Other calibers produced were 6 mm, .243 Win. and .308 Win.

    Thanks, that helps some.
    May I ask where did you get your information?
    I have a question posted on the Remington site as well, and might even contact Customer service phone.

    The one listed down here in La, has kinda got me wondering if that number is correct (3029) for the .35 cambering.


    I can tell you the 200gr round nose bullets are getting hard to come by, but can still find the 200 gr XTP.

    Bought a mold for the 200gr RN so will be casting my own, for mine.
    The pointy nose bullets should shoot just fine in my 600 as it doesn't have a tube magazine.

    FWIW: My 336 Marlin shoots the 200 Sierra RN with 40 gr. of IMR4895 very well. Six 5-shot groups averaged 1.52". My 600 does not shoot quite as well. The Winchester Power-Point factory load, while a bit slow, shoots very well from the 600.

    Hunter63: You asked where I got the information on SNs etc. about the Rem. Model 600. For the most part information was from the Remington Society of America Journal, 4th quarter, 2005. This was from their RemShots department. Another place was from the Remington web site. One can look up information on past models.

    Thanks, MB, I'll keep looking.
    Called Customer service, they have a find out what years your remington was made and history section.

    When I asked for the info on units produced, I was told curty that we don't give out that infomation.
    So then I told her that I had heard 3029, and was told, again they can't give out that info.

    So I asked if I could get just a yes or no answer....and was asked if I wanted her to lie????

    I thought that was kinda a carppy answer, so, I just said "Thanks and hung up"
    Customer Service?....Hmmmmmmm, make me wonder.
