Greetings,
The 660 followed the 600 with a longer barrel, 20.5" from memory. The Mohawk was later still and not directly marketed by Remington, a bit like the Ruger No1 today. Later still was the 673 based on the model 7 which in turn was based on the Modle 600. The 673 also had the vent rib but in steel this time. The 600 was based on a modified Rem 700 action that had been developed for a pistol. It was basically a bush pig decades before its time.
