Well, gentlemen…… I’ve seemed to have reached an impasse….. for those of you out there who’ve handled/fired and know of those who own/have owned a 600 Overkill bolt action rifle, would rather have one built or buy one that’s already made from someone who has taken care of it?
I ask, because I can’t decide whether to have one made or to just seek one out from a private seller.
I’ve tried contacting Bijou Creek, but to no avail I’ve yet to receive an answer or make contact with Mike. I have spoke with Jason of Aria Ballistic Engineering as well as Corey from Boyou Advanced Weapon Systems. Seems like to have a 600 O.K built (if it were to get started tomorrow) would take roughly 24-40 weeks and run north of 15k for the rifle itself EXCLUDING brass, dies, and bullets. These estimates really make me lean more toward finding a used one over a new one.
I’m nowhere near a perfectionist nor am I overly in particular in the details of what I would desire in one of these rifles. I appreciate craftsmanship, but value functionality/dependability way more over a showcase piece. I think that if I’m going to plan a build or try and locate one of these I need to start sooner rather than later (just cause I can and it’s already been on the bucket list of rifles for quite some time).
So, if it were up to any of you guys (if you were remotely interested in one of these big bore behemoths) would you prefer new or used “new to you”? And why?
Thanks in advance for the opinions and I’m looking forward to the conversation!
