I'm thinking about an AHR 600 Overkill,how many members here have one and could you post pictures of them.Thanks.

I think Rob Garnick recently said the count was up to a few hundred. I have one (for sale, BTW) and have posted pictures of it when I got it, while working up loads, when it took Cape buffalo and when I put it in the classifieds here. There are photos of it on the AHR website in the Dangerous Game section - the "fleur de lis" close-up, and in the Available Now section.

I'll try to repost a couple later today.

Great caliber. Great gun. Great choice of builders - Wayne at AHR truly is the best.

Good luck

Last count was well over 200. Everyone who has one has been quite satisfied. CCDoc's is a beautiful gun well worth the money. Do your research on the weopon, AHR has a time proven recipe and most importantly, delivers a quality product on time.-Rob

Search this forum using the 'Find' button. There are several threads on the .600OK, many with photos.

Here are some pics from the AHR folks of the 600 OK I just purchased from Biebs...picking the rifle up today from my FFL.

Not the best photo but I sure love mine

bobgrow & 600 Overkill,

What are the barrel lengths?

Thanks,

Thanks for the info.

Here is another photo comparison of the 600 Overkill with other rifles

L to R 30-06 w/220 Nosler Partition, 416 Rem w/400 Hornady Interbond, 458 Win w/ 500 gr Interbond, 505 Gibbs W/570gr TSX and 600 Overkill w/900 gr Woodleigh

I had a 458 WM and the 505 and the 600 dwarf it.

todd

wow, phil! Where those recovered from a test media, or animals?

You guys are really making my .458Lott and .470NE feel tiny!

Thanks for all the info, it seems like AHR is the way to go for a 600 Overkill.

A 900gr Woodleigh at 2300fps looks like a 1 inch diameter"smokin ball of lead" when it hits anything out of the .600Ok-Rob

I can vouch for that

Rob, pm sent to you Tues. nite

The 416 and 458 Hornady bullets expanded to over an inch, as did the 570 gr 505 TSX. The 900 gr Woodleigh went over an inch and a half!

The 220 Partition from my 30-06 is the only one dug out of an animal and it was a large brown bear and was just under the hide on the far side.

I'm not trying to get off subject but, would anyone be willing to part with a spare expanded 600 Overkill bullet?

Thanks,

todd

The one on the left is after going through 5 3 gallon water jugs & the one on the right is after going through 2' of boar :-) 1.5 & 1.75" diameters

Todd,

If I can find one for you (I had a few before we moved to a new home) I will let you know and mail it out to you.

If I can't find one and you can be patient, I will shoot one into some media from which I can retrieve it and send it out. But probably not for a month or two.

CCMDoc,

Thanks, just let me know when you need info from me.

Absolutely,

The folk on AR are a great bunch and the 600 OverKill crowd a particularly helpful "brotherhood" with Robgunbuilder the founding father.

Some day I hope to finally get my MRC PH in stainless steel on which someone will build a 600OK with SS barrel and gray laminate stock - the ultimate all-weather Brontosaurus-Basher.

GG505,

Will post copious pics of my new AHR 600 OK on a new thread either this Friday or Saturday...please check them out for a different sample of AHR's masterful work.

Respects,

Phill

I am working on becoming a member of the 600 OverKill fraternity. Hopefully I won't have to wait much longer. I plan to get a standard "working gun" version and it will be the nicest gun I will own - even if it is a field grade.

600 OK,

Who makes your ammo belt?

Thanks

todd
