georgegibbs505600 Overkill Question
I'm thinking about an AHR 600 Overkill,how many members here have one and could you post pictures of them.Thanks.

CCMDocI 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

RobgunbuilderLast 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

458WinHere 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
Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

Brandon.Gleasonwow, phil! Where those recovered from a test media, or animals?
You guys are really making my .458Lott and .470NE feel tiny!

georgegibbs505Thanks for all the info, it seems like AHR is the way to go for a 600 Overkill.

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

458WinThe 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.
Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

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.

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.

Respects,

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.
