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

Frank, that is a great buy, for sure.

The 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.

500 AccRel Nyati, 416 Rigby or 416 Ruger, 375Ruger or 338WM, 308 or 270, 243, 223" --
Conserving creation, hunting the harvest.

416, 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.

That's quite a rifle, Frank.
What action?

What sort of loads do you shoot?

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

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

I stand corrected, you are right.

That'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.

Thanks 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 Overkill
Again 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 Cool

Does it have a brake?


Go Duke!!

Yes, 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.

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