The Remington Model 660 is a bolt-action rifle manufactured by Remington Arms from 1968 to 1971. The rifle was intended as a replacement for the Model 600.
The Model 660 emerged from the success of the Model 600, which was originally produced from 1964 to 1967.[4] In 1968, the Model 660 was introduced as a redesign of the Model 600. Main changes included elimination of the ventilated rib and a 2inches increase in the length of the barrel.[2] After 3 years, the M660 was discontinued and the Model 600 Mohawk was introduced.
The Model 660, along with many Model 600s was affected by a recall in 1979 to remedy a problem with the bolt lock safety that under certain circumstances allowed accidental discharge. https://www.remington.com/support/safety-center/safety-modification-program/remington-model-600-660
