I happen to own a Remington 660, which is much the same rifle as the 600 with minor differences. I also own a number of very fine rifles and I guess I should start just shooting the others and sell the 660 to the first dimwit that will give me something for it.
I think if I were to take to the woods with the 660, I should expect the finish to fall off or become very unattractive. I should expect it to misfeed at a bad moment, after I fumbled for the safety that wasn't a 3 position wing model. I guess it wouldn't matter much if the extractor broke off, since the bolt handle would have fallen off at that point anyway.
Maybe that is what I deserve as I didn't have any more sense than buying the cheapest rifle made.
In reality, I think you should take your rifle to be rebarreled into the .358 and any capable gunsmith would welcome the work.
