First off I'd like to say I used the search function, and I do believe that I have read all past post/threads that search brought up. Along with multiple interweb searches ,and Remingtons info I cannot find for certain the barrel twist rate. With that said heres the history of this rifle.
My grandfather purchased it as far as I know new to take elk hunting in Colorado back in the late 70's early 80's . When he passed away 10 years ago the rifle ,and a few other guns were left to my Dad.
Long story short when my dad passed 4 years ago his girlfriend wanted them out of their house so in the back of my safe they went. Which brings use to now it's time to start using this rifle!
So to the rifle: Remington Model 600 chambered in .308 Winchester ,18.5" vented rib barrel, twist rate? (unknown by me), it has some sort or 2 piece adjustable base, topped with a 4x realist USA auto/range scope I think I read somewhere the base came with the scope (idk) . It's a pretty sweet little rig ,but it's got some issues. The stock is cracked at the forend, the bottom plastic/trigger guard is warped.
I see there's plenty of replacement stuff out there. I'm thinking a stock upgrade, real bottom metal, 1 piece base, and definitely better glass! So a couple questions. Does anyone know what the twist rate on these are? Also what have you seen or done to this rifle upgrade wise?
I will be using it for hunting in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana for now , possibly trips out west in the distance future! Thanks in advance!
