Anyone have any ideas for this dogleg bolt knob? I’ve heard of people having this changed but have yet to see any finished options out there. Kind of awkward the way it is. F269A0EE-6F2A-4BBF-AB5E-0DF470D7C24B.jpeg
 
I believe the 600 Mohawks were the same bolt configuration as the XP-100. You might have more luck searching on that. I think you may have to replace the complete bolt. Personally, I'd leave it as is. I think there's more value in an original 600. Sell it and buy something else.

This man has the correct answer. Buy another rifle instead of butchering this timeless classic!!!
 
Thanks for the Xp-100 advice. Typically I’m not one for changing one of my older guns not in production anymore but this gun was left to me by a friend who wanted to see my son shoot his first deer with it when he is of age, which I intend to do. The safety is hard to move and the bolt is awkward to run so I’m just looking for ideas that would make it easier and safer for him to run. I have many other options for him to use but per my friends request, I’d like to see him use this one on his first deer.
 
My 600 is pre-Mohawk; wonderful little .308 carbine. Don't mess with that funky bolt !!!!
My bbl stamp dates to Dec 1965 so rifle may have been sold pretty close to my DoB before the '66 hunting season.
 
It is a very interesting gun. This one is chambered in 243 and we have a few years before my boy is ready to use it but I do like to know what options are out there. It won’t be one that I would sell as it was given to me to give to my son.
 
The safety should not be hard to operate, disassemble and clean the trigger and safety mechanism is my suggestion. Also, again my suggestion, hunt with the rifle like it's a single-shot; one shot should get the job done. I knew some fellows down in Florida that would hunt with whatever rifle they wanted to use, but only take one cartridge into the woods with them. Heaven help you if you came out of the woods without either the unfired cartridge or a deer! The ribbing was merciless!!

I say get your boy up to speed on it and do minimal work to it. Take it to a qualified smith and have it deep cleaned. Dad has a 600 in 350rem mag that I drool over every time we pull it out of the safe. I have several modern high end bolt guns but that one is just different. They are awesome rifles from an era when Remington built quality rifles and there are few of them left. I would encourage you to not chop this one up as it is great in factory form. If it was a rust bucket junker I would say hack away and have fun. 600's like your's are rare and there are fewer by the day.

As some have mentioned leave it as is, there are a few on Auction sites one in 308 now at $650.
and a few more days to go on it. Seen em bring over $1,000.
Depending on caliber some fetch crazy money. So with that I would leave it (just my opinion ain't
worth squat),
Check around PTG sells bolts sans knob and some others, swap bolts if you want to change the handle
leaving the original. I have one in 308 paid $80 for it long ago, plus XP-100's the action are the same
except for the obvious. It took a while going from a Rem 700, Win 70 to get used to it. Same can be
said with the Weatherby rifle bolt lifts.
