Anyone for .35 Rem?

[Cerberus Group]

Yep! The Model 600 carbine. I bought it five years ago with the possibility that it had never been shot. That turned out not to be true, but the gun is nearly flawless.
Apparently they were only made for the first year in the 35 Remington, but then that cartridge was discontinued. I remember seeing advertisements for these little rifles when I was in grade school and fell in love with the looks. Very accurate little gun, too.

Ah the Mohawk model

Ah the Mohawk model

No Sir. The Mohawk was the "econo" version of the Model 600. Mohawks did not sport the ventilated rib, barrel was a tad longer (but not as long as a 660) and heavier, the "Buck Rogers" front sight was gone, less polish work on metal, and stocks were "walnut stained hardwood" (maple).

"Mohawk" as a plain-Jane designator was assigned to other economized Remington models as well, such as the Nylon 66, and even an economical line of ammunition.

Remington Model 600 Mohawk, caliber .222 Remington, Leupold 3x-9x Compact on a Leupold bridge mount. Note the absence of the venilated rib, more conventional sights, and maple stock. Shooters learned to prefer the Mohawk configuration, as the barrel is of standard weight and contour such as a Model 700, rather than the streamlined pencil barrel on 600's proper. They ALL shoot the lights out, though.

Here's it's big brother (or fat uncle):

Remington Model 600 Magnum, caliber .350 Remington Magnum. Note the laminated stock Remington deemed necessary for this thumper. Best game load is a 225grain Nosler Partition, 2650fps out of the short barrel. After restoring this, I sent it north to reside with a buddy in Alaska. His to use, mine if I come up to hunt.

That is actually what I thought I wanted as a kid. It would have knocked be back into last week!

"Nah! It's more of a 'push'!"

That will definitely get your attention.
We had a gentleman show up at the range I was working at as a RSO to sight his in for upcoming hunting season.
Suggested he try shooting it standing using a post as a support , he thanked me for that advice .
Explained those rifles do not shoot well sitting down at a bench.
Sure way to develop a flinch .

I've owned a few .35 Rems over the years. First one I had was an early Rem. Model 760. Then both a Model 8 and a Model 81 in the 1980's when they were still cheap. Then a Marlin 336 came along. In the early 2000's, another Rem. Model 760, which by weird coincidence was a consecutive serial number to the one I'd owned over 20 years earlier. I like the cartridge.

Winchester Model 70 in .35 Rem. is very rare, only about 400 made.

"Buck Rogers" front sight

I just sold one of those for $30. It was on a rifle I inherited that it didn't belong on. I wondered why I couldn't get the rifle to shoot to point of aim, no matter how I adjusted the rear sight. Then I noticed the front sight had a dovetail cut under it. My guess, somebody decided they liked the look of the 1960's sight better than the 1970's sight the rifle came with. I put the correct sight in the dovetail, now the rifle shoots straight again.

I have a 1949 Remington model 81 in .300 savage its cool, but 35rem would be better for ammo availability

I love my Mohawk in .243. I think it's heavy for how compact it is, but the rifle ergonomics are outstanding.

I'll loan you my pre-64 Model 70 in 30-06. You'll appreciate how light your Mohawk is!
And if your gun had a bigger bore, it would be lighter.

Very cool rifles, now you will just need the extended magazine.

Picked the M81 up at the FFL and went straight to the Smiths to have a Lyman hooded globe post installed (has 8 inserts), to dial in the Williams for my lightening quick acquisition time : .
After I got it and gave it the critical go over, it wasn't that bad, been in the field a few times which shows on the wood primarily, the blue and barrel are great. Additionally, it appears to be the next grade up the chain. Checkered wrist and forearm, Williams aperture and recoil pad, all of which I believe were options from the catalog on order. It's a '49 production year, a few thousand numbers from the runs end in 1950ish.
Get your drool rags to the ready, she's boss. PAX

Very nice! I just picked up a model 8 in 35rem built in 1908. the bluing is pretty much gone but very good shape otherwise. I share your excitement!

You should post a pic of it. I wonder where the one I had went.

 

[SAR1846]

Gotta love the pogo stick!! Mine is in 300sav, replacing the recoil pad currently, and has a side mount weaver. Still super fun to shoot, but its a pig to carry in the woods.

 

[echo1]

Yeah, I humped an M8 in .30REM in the Sierra a few times. About the same weight as an SKS. It'll be a range toy, Kali is a no lead enclave, PAX.

While I've shot some game with the Model 81 .300 Savage, probably the most fun I had with it was sitting on a rimrock at the edge of a canyon across from a big rock slide, and picking out rocks to break. Out to 300 yards hits were pretty easy, and the echo in the canyon (which INCLUDED the clang of operation) was incredible.

My granddad used a model 81 35 rem. in Maryland for years after he passed it came to us I used though my teen years till I got my own rifle for Christmas a savage 170 in 30-30
