600 Overkill Build
      01/08/11 04:45 AM

Hello everyone, I'm new here so I thought I'd start off with some background info. Been shooting big bore handguns for years. Started off with 44 Magnums and worked my way up to a 500 S&W. About four months ago I got my first big bore rifle, a 460 Weatherby Magnum. I've put over a hundred rounds through it so far and I love it. See videos here: YouTube The thing is that now I want to step up to something a lot bigger.

Talked it over with my gunsmith and we decided to do a 600 Overkill build on a CZ 550 magnum action. The action is already on order from CZ with the 505 Gibbs boltface. Would like everyone's opinion on the rest of the build. I'm thinking of going with a dangerous game rifle theme with a synthetic stock and a fairly short barrel on the order of 18 or 20 inches.

I Photoshopped this picture of a CZ 550 with a McMillan stock and 18 inch barrel to get an idea of what it would look like. Any thoughts?
