| 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.

| 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.

| 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. Frank |

| 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. |
