The Remington Model 660 is a bolt action rifle manufactured by Remington Arms from 1968 to 1971. The rifle was intended as a replacement for the Model 600.
History
The Model 660 emerged out of the success of the Model 600, which was originally produced from 1964 to 1967.[4] In 1968, the Model 660 was introduced as a redesign of the Model 600. Main changes included elimination of the ventilated rib and a 2-inch (5.1 cm) increase in the length of the barrel.[2] After 3 years, the M660 was discontinued and the Model 600 Mohawk was introduced.
Variants
- Model 660 Magnum
- Same specs as the standard model except featuring a laminated walnut stock for added strength. It also featured quick detachable sling swivels and a recoil pad.[3]
