Smile Custom .308 Win.

I know this is kinda "old school" these days. I used to do stock work for a couple of shops before my kids came along. It's been 25 years since I did any checkering. My youngest son found this stock half shaped, and wondered if we could finish it for his 600 Mohawk .308 Win. with a 700 ADL trigger guard and bolt handle. Took a couple of months of here and there time. The wood came from big log I bought and had cut into slabs around 1980. This is more of a woods gun with that 18 1/2" barrel. Always shot well before, and I guess I didn't screw it up too bad. Shot between 3/4 and 1" for 3 shot groups today, just starting to play with loads. The boy is pretty happy with the gun.

That stock looks very good. My longest deer kill was with a 600 308--I had a ML but the time came to kill so I grabbed it off a friend

Beautiful work. Looks like custom quality. Don't underestimate those 600's. My uncle did a lot of long range shooting with his.

Default 600

That is beautiful!
I've been hunting, shooting, buyingn selling and trading firearms for over 50 years and the only "seller's remorse" that I have experienced was for a 600 in 6mm Remington.
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!

That was me pre-marriage and kids. Worked in a gun shop and got great deals on trade ins. Had 6mm and .308 660s. Wish I had them for the longer barrel, but this gun always shot great and takes some pretty stiff loads with no pressure signs.

Thanks to all for the nice compliments.
