OverkillWhat would it cost for me if i would by a 577 tyrannosur.

NitromanOverkill, I have seen a couple for sale over the years and they run around $4,000. Your major difficulty is brass. The .585 Nyati and the .585 Wells Rimless Nitro Express will do the same things as the T-Rex and you can make them from the .585 Nyati basic brass.
Any good smith can take up the challenge and build you one. A-Square looks like it might be back in business, give it a couple of months and see. The Hannibal takes three down and one up the spout.

<hd352802>Overkil,you are doing justice to your name.
I believe it was A- square who made the T-Rex.
They are out of business now, I don't now if any other company is chambering for it.

PCIn all honesty overkill I would look at getting the .585 Nyatti it would work out a lot cheaper due to being able to build it on a cz 550 or 602 which is what I will build mine on. As these other blokes have said brass would be more of an issue with the .577

OverkillThe 585 nyati is maybe the best then.

PCJust more convenient to build, if your poor like me then you would build a .585 Nyatti, if your cashed up do a .577 T-Rex.

<10point>Hey I have a real funny video of guys shooting the Ty-Rex. One little Arab feller is thrown right thru a window from the recoil, as Saeed is howling like a hyena in the background.
Ive showed that piece to my shooter friends and they have rolled on the floor............10

<rolf>overkill.
You have recieved sound advice from the other guys. If I remember correct "Vapentidningen" did a thing about the Nyati a while back. The gunsmith in question was" Hans Olsson, Klippan". If you find a used cz action and let one of our really good gunsmiths make a rifle according to your specifications it will not cost you 10000$ I think the rifle in the magazine ended up around 3000$.
If you are interrested I can look it up for you. Also if you want some names of smiths who will do a good job for you get back to me.
Regards/Rolf

OverkillRolf,
Jag �r prenumererar p� vapen tidningen.
Jag har l�st deras artikel om 585 nyati.
S� du tror att man kan skaffa sig en b�ssa i kaliber 585 nyati f�r 30 000 kr.
Vad tror du kan en 585 nyati sl� omkull en �lg p� 200 kg om man skjuter p� 50 m. Med en 750 grains halv mantlad woodleigh kula p� 800 m/S.
Var bor du i sverige...? jag bor i norra norrland n�ra finska gr�nsen.

<allen day>Just remember one thing: Close only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades. If you can't place your shots properly with that T-Rex monstrosity, you'll be shit outa luck, and probably better off with something that's more user-friendly - maybe something like a .30-06 or a .338 Win.Mag........

Nutoyoverkill,
The cost of the T-Rex will most likly be the least of your worries after you pull the trigger the first time. What is really going to cost you will be getting a good Health/Dental Insurance Plan,,,,LOL
Go look at the videos of the poor rascals shooting this beast. I laughed so hard I was in tears.

Have you heard of "Funniest Home Videos". You could have a $10,000.00 winner in there.

<JOHAN>Well to metion it I guess we soon might have a competitor to Saeed's video if Overkill gets a T-Rex.
I have an excellent solution for you if you would need a backup for hunting big bears and ELK. There is a drab green thing that looks like a enlarged beltbuckle. The text on those I have used "towards the ememy". They are deliverd in a canvas bag with 4-6 in each.
Strap that around your waist and you have something that will impress most creatures on this planet.
