It is a Mohawk 600, basically an older version of the Remington Model 7, but with a heavier barrel. I had a gunsmith replace the bolt handle with a 700 bolt handle. Gives up a little speed due to the barrel. Gets about .300 Savage ballistics. The first buck I shot with that gun was back in 1983. Finished making that stock in spring 2011 though.
