Frank Martinez600 overkill
Your final chance to get my 600 Overkill at a steal. Final couple days on gunbroker.

BiebsFrank, that is a great buy, for sure.

416TanzanThe only rifle I saw in 600 Overkill was $11,500.00 starting price.
Since I wouldn't want to steal something, I'd better pass.
It's a beautiful rifle and probably pretty good for buffalo, assuming that the rebated cartridge feeds smoothly. And with such a well-crafted rifle, that is probably a given.

Biebs416, Some of Wayne's guns are built on Granite Mountain actions, most on a worked CZ 550. That's why you see the price difference, as the GM action alone is probably close to $4K.

600 OverkillBoys----that REALLY is a steal. Frank----did you replace it with anything fun

416TanzanThat's quite a rifle, Frank.
What action?
What sort of loads do you shoot?

fla3006I think that one is a reworked CZ550, still a very fine action, and a definite steal.

CHIPBIf this is the rifle I'm thinking of ,(formerly owned by Idaho Sharpshooter), it is built on an MRC action.

BitterrootThat's right, it's an MRC PH action. It's the only 600 we built on the PH and probably the only one in existance. Definately a cool rifle and a great price.

Frank MartinezThanks for the updated info.
This is a very fine rifle built by Wayne.
It includes dies, brass and bullets. Don't let it get away from you at this ridiculous price.

600 OverkillAgain boys---if you ever thought of a 600 type--BUY THIS. Trust me. I'm going to post a detailed thread on 600's soon but for now---it's off to watch the Packers beat the 49'rs at God's own land of St. Vince

Texas Blue DevilDoes it have a brake?
Go Duke!!

BiebsYes, they all come with removable X-Brakes. There's a nice unknurled cap that covers the threads up to the front sight shroud, so you can't even tell it had a brake on it. Up to 2,100 fps is ok without a brake, especially if you shoot the lighter 750gr bullets.

BitterrootHere it is when we had just finished it. It is something to heft; you can feel the testosterone pouring out of it.
