Well, maybe I'm a sucker but I couldn't help but see a diamond in the rough here. I stewed over it for a week or two and then pulled the trigger. Custom Remington 600 takedown in .35 Remington. It is very dated in it's styling, a-la Weatherby, but I think it is going to clean up quite well.


I am going to replace the maple with an ebony tip, and a steel grip cap, Slim the forend contour, cut down the cheekpiece angle and reshape the grip. I couldn't decide between a Neidner plate or an English red recoil pad... but the butt is narrower than the steel plates I have so English pad it is. I'll inlet Dakota swivel studs.
I am working on period correct removable scope mounts and have an excellent 2.5-8 scope for it.




forgive the crudeness of this "artists rendering"

Thats a cool project! Looks like plenty of wood to get a good profile.

I think you'll end up with a very handsome and useful little carbine!

What a wonderful project. I have a fondness for take down rifles and the caliber is just about perfect. Sounds like you have thought through what needs to be done. Would love to see pictures of the finished project..

Any chance of getting pics of the take down portion of the gun?

I remember seeing that rifle sell at cowans a few months ago. I was wondering who made the takedown at the time, looks well made.

cool. I would say a .6" Old English Decelerator pad for the butt.
and it needs simple iron sights.
keep us posted

A special one of a kind rifle like that one deserves a leather covered pad to reinforce it's new refurbishment. I added a leather covered decelerator to my 7x54mm A-bolt and it really set it off.

I have a 20mm blood red English pad for it. I have almost sorted the scope mounting. In order to take down, the scope must be removable. I do not care for Weaver style stuff and ditched the mount that came with it. The vintage Williams Quick Convertible seemed appropriate. I will try that before I go to modern Leupold QR stuff.
The Williams 600 mount stuck over an inch forward of the joint and would not allow take down. I was able to modify a 722 short action mount. However it will only use two mounting screws so I am going to start there, but I am unsure if thats a permanent solution.
I am going to test fire before I start cutting wood.
