I do wonder what the recoil will be like. I find my Weatherby is pretty tame launching a 500 grain bullet at 2700 ft/s out of a 9 1/2 pound rifle. The 600 Overkill launches a 900 grain bullet at around 2300 ft/s. Not sure what the actual weight will end up being, but I figure around 8 1/2 pounds. I know this will be a considerable increase in recoil, but I'm not really worried about it causing actual injury.

I did a search on this forum, and at least three people here have owned 600 Overkills. Nobody posted anything about getting hurt so I'm guessing it's not to bad.
