From $350-$500 depending on model, condition, and region.

Do a search in the auctions. You'll find at least two ongoing right now. One had a "Buy Now" price of $475, I believe.

I am constantly on the look out for a 600. I recently bought a 600 Mohawk in 6mm for $290 from GB. The stock had some moisture damage but to my surprise the metal was in beautiful condition (bluing and bore). I was planning to use it as an action donor but decided against it. I just refinished the stock and put it back together. I have not shot it yet so we'll see. Last week I sold a no-kidding like new 600 Mohawk in 308 for $525. As you can see, condition is everything. I like the 600s a lot. The dog leg bolt is easy to grab but does stick out from the gun very much like the 700. I had one rebarrelled to 7mm-08 and put a Richards Stock on it. It is my favorite little deer rifle! 0 -
Question on the 600/660: Other than the shape of the bolt handle, is there any difference in the action compared to a short Model 700? 0 -
600 and 660's are extremely desireable here in the Northeast. We have gotton 400-600 dollars for .308 in 80% or better conditrion w/out any problem. Start yours high becuase there is always someone who wants it bad enough. 0 -
I rarely see one around here go for less than $500 in 90% or better condition.

One of the differences between the 700 Short Action (SA) and 600 is the bridge is shorter on the 600. The bridge is the part of the receiver just in front of the bolt plug. There are some other external differences too. The trigger is further forward on the 600 and the distance between the trigger guard screws are different also. I have heard from benchrest shoorters that the 600 is closer to the Model 40x and that the 600 has a quicker lock time than the 700SA or Model 7. Shorter lock time means less time for the shooter to mess up a shot. BTW, if you want a 600, I would get one sooner thatn later. The price is always climbing and ones in good shape are getting rarer everyday.

Ironic, isn't it that the Model 600 was an example of a failed product. The Model 600 was a marketing flop that sportsmen didn't like in the early 60's. One of the features that the shooting public disliked was the shape of the bolt handle. The 6mm and the 350 Magnum were some of the first short-action magnums to be offered and that was another feature sportmen didn't like were the 6mm and 35 calibers chambered for this model.
I always did like the appearance of the rifle and I haven't changed my mind since. I guess all that needs be done is for a firearms manufacturer to cease production of a model and it finally becomes desirable to own.

This is some helpful info, I was handed a remington 660 from my grandfather about 20 years ago. I would say it is at least 80 or 90% good quality. Metal in good shape, stock has very few small dings. I mean its been used to shoot many deer. The prices you gave here are pretty close. Im from the north east too and yes they are popular there. 0
