hello all,
at my latest gun show I noticed a pair of guns that I had never seen in person before...the remington 600. after fondling them a bit I must say that I am quite impressed. one had the vent rib while the other didn't, both were scoped and both felt very well balanced, lightweight and had nice smooth bolts, cant get enough of those ugly dogleg bolts. however one thing I never see discussed about them are the cartridge options and floor plates. both of these were small bores, one was a 222 remington and the other was a 220 something-or-other(IIRC) and both had plastic floor plates. so my questions are:
1. did all remington 600s come with plastic floor plates or was this an economy typed model?
2. did they only come in varmint type cartridges or were there other options? (I would like to see one in the 243win-6.5 swede area)
3. was the vent rib optional or did someone just remove it from the second rifle I saw?
