6.5mm Remington Mag. Model 660

bwheelersc

I was given a model 660, 6.5mm remington mag. I am wondering what it would be worth. It is in good condition but it shows some wear on the stock and the front open sight. I am not positive that the stock is orginal. Is there any way to tell for sure?

Here are the images of my 6.5mm Remington Mag Model 660. Can anyone give me a somewhat accurate value of this rifle? Thanks

I hope this hyperlink works!!

bwheelersc,

Welcome to the Gunbroker Forums!

The Remington M600s and the M660s have become more desirable in past years, especially those in the original 6.5mm Rem. Mag. and .350 Rem. Mag. chambers.

In order to help with a value and some idea of whether or not the stock is original, it would be very helpful to have some good photographs of the overall (both sides) and some details of the action and trigger guard.

I will try to get pictures tomorrow. What type of details do you need from the action and trigger guard. I am not a gun expert by any standards, I just enjoy bow hunting and shooting a coyote now and then. Please explain in detail so that i may list them. Thanks for the help.

Stock would be laminated if factory and trigger guard would be plastic.

MFI

Decent shape $600-$700 bucks easily.. very desirable ..

mrbruce

They are mainly looking for good solid photographs, some up close and personal, and then of the complete item, both sides... in focus [:)]
Some one will be happy to help out, both ways..

bwheelersc

I know that the stock is not laminated but the trigger guard is plastic. I'm guessing that this will cut the value of the gun by quite a bit. any rough estimates?? I will have pictures soon. Thanks

kumate

the stock does not necessarily have to be laminated,I own three 660's and only 1 is laminated,all are factory stocks.1 of the wood stocks in on a 222 my dad bought new.The price on 660's runs between500 and 800 right now on the auction side

Trigger guard is supposed to be plastic. It is probably original and if like most, a little warped.

bwheelersc,

Here are two links that show some decent photos of rifles as examples of what you can try to provide:

The photographs are meant to help us see what condition the rifle is in. The amount of bluing left on the metal, any damage to the metal or to the stock wood, additional modifications to the rifle that didn't happen at the factory, etc.

The stock will not necessarily be laminated as some were sold with solid but plain-jane walnut stocks which had pressed checkering.

The trigger guard was plastic as pointed out and probably warped also as pointed out. It was molded out of some material that didn't want to retain its shape.

Best.

ADDED:

Your thread will get locked at 10 posts so when you get the photos ready, just start a new thread with the addition of something like 'Part 2' in the title.

Best.

Heres a few photo's of the rifle...
