No, you're not seeing double. It's two 600 OK's; a matching set. Both for the same fellow who loves his ultra-big bores. The receivers are GMA's, color-case hardened, with coffin drop floor-plate that holds three. And the best thing, no muzzle brakes. Sorry for the crappy pictures; my #1 camera hit the floor hard and I'm having to wait for Santa to bring a new one.

Beautiful Beautiful. Pun intended.
And all that for only 3 down in each one.
That is why he needs two rifles, one for him and one for gunbearer-reloader to hand him the next three shots. tu2

Are these suppose to be hunting rifles or safe queens? You should see what my rifles look like after one cull.

Far too nice stocks for me.

Wonderful... Bravo!
I just love the coffin drop plate and case hardening.
Like twins in a centerfold.
More to love but yet the same.
What could possible be better? Take down twins? Perhaps spare takedown barrels in 505 Gibs and 408 Chey-Tac for variety and PG?
I'll take mine with a silver monogram plate Wink
Better yet a Kevlar stock so we don't mess up the pretty stock.
Wood for the safe and Kevlar for the field.
Just gorgeous!
Need more pics please.

They are such beautiful rifles. So, tell me, why not three?
My meaning is if you have two beautiful women, why not a third?
Cheers,
Cal

I'm just wondering why, if he needed two, didn't he just put the two barrels together and make a double instead! Whistling

He already has one 600 OK. She's not a "Plain-Jane" by any means, but these are his centerfolds.

Very Nice!! But if my 375 H&H or 416 Rem can't handle the job, it's not a job for me. Big Grin

Bob,
We have some good deals on rifles that are ready-to-go on our website. I'll be coming out with something more general that will cover a wide variety of custom orders soon. We'll also be restructuring our pricing and offerings to give customers more choices.

Wayne

Is there any chance that you may post a picture of the bolt front/top view.

Thanks

Pyzda,

Sorry, that's all the photos I have. What were you hoping to see? Maybe I can explain.

Thanks Wayne

Nothing special, just more or less I wanted to see what is left on the rim of the bolt and how big the lugs are.

I've some plans to put a general purpose (.585HE,600 OK, 700" BMG case based ?) big bore rifle together and trying to find an action for the task that I would be reasonably happy with.

Pyzda,

There's plenty of bolt left around the rim on these big GMA's. Their bolt dia. is .750" and the rim dia. on the 600 OK is .635".

BEAUTIFUL!!!

But no less than I expect from Wayne and AHR beer

I had the full Monty on my GMA-action 600OK and as most know, it was no safe queen.

Great work as always

Merry Christmas and All the Best to you and your family Wayne.

stay well,

Paul

Maybe after what I do to all my rifles, I'm not the right person to criticise someone elses rifles.

However if I was the owner of these two otherwise beautiful .600 OK rifles, the first thing what I would do with them would be to throw away the coffin drop boxes and re-swap the actions.

For nice "barrel matching" blued actions.

I have no doubt whatsoever the coffin drop box works 100%, but to me it looks it's out of place.

Just like a nice red sleek sports car with a stainless steel box mounted on the bonnet. (for an extra suitcase).

The best thing is that there are NO MUZZLE BRAKES

Nice job Wayne, I hope the owner gives me a call sometime. I like to talk to those of the .600 ok persuasion.We usually have lots in common.-Rob
