For Sale 375 REM 700 Overwatch

[Deleted member 55776]

375 RUM built by: Bayou Advanced Weapon Systems, LLC area318.com

Love this 375 RUM Switch barrel === she can span 338 RUM to 458 calibers in the same build. In 375 RUM Long Range Configuration she is highly capable. M24 Contour 29" Benchmark Barrel.

37XC and 375 Hellfire builds are next! This was not built to spot-n-stalk it was built for Safari-style Hunting at extreme long range..

So basically it's a sniper rifle and not for hunting at all? I presume it pushes all conventional hunting bullets way beyond any designed velocities. Maybe a cupped point solid has a chance at doing something with these cases.

"Safari-style hunting at extreme ranges." Sounds very call of duty.

One can only imagine the level of noise generated at firing.

My rifle, my style of hunting. My 600 Overkill is for the spot-n-stalk hunting. Always a smart-ass that does not like someone else's build... you must be a Democrat LOL The rifle was configured for Safari-Style Hunting in Texas... not Africa. You can view my post on my 600 Overkill and that my friend is a close-encounter weapon... no need for a follow up shot. Oh wait, you will bitch it is not a 577 Trex POS or a 4 Bore... LOL

Who in the hell shoots "conventional" -- Monolitic or Solids for me, screw lead core bullets. CEB, Hammer or Barnes are not Conventional and they shoot like a laser in this 375.

Well now, it's a .600 OK and a .375 Hellfire and the poster is upset because his terming of Safari-style hunting was not embraced. You've got a lot going on there fella and I hope you find a little peace in the next life. Don't shoot your toe off with your .500 Linebaugh snubby over there...hahaha

Um no... this is my 600 OK. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/my-600-overkill.57984/ Built on the CZ550 Action. The 375 pictured is a switch-barrel, multi-caliber rifle. We use the BUGNUT barrel switch system and REMAGE threaded barrels for the multi-caliber capability. If the bolt face is larger you simply swap the bolt that is headspaced with the barrel.

You hunt your way, I hunt mine. Enjoy hunting more than being a keyboard warrior -hunter. Just thought this was a place where people could show their weapons without being bashed for their style. Does not hurt my feeling just shows your ignorance.

Nice rifle. I'm sure that you'll enjoy hunting with it. Should take anything that you want to hunt in Tx with it. Congrats.

I am sure the whitetail in Texas are shuddering in their sleep.

In regards to the 600 OK. You are right no need for a follow up shot. Even if you miss, as by the time the gun comes into battery for a follow up shot from recoil the wild boar or whatever you stalk with it in Texas would be long gone.

Nice looking and technologically advanced rifle for it’s specific purpose. But the thread title says “For sale”? What price are you asking for it? I’m not in the hunt for it, but somebody here might be?

He's not actually selling it. This is a glitch in the posting where when you post pictures of your gun as OP it somehow comes up as for sale when all you're doing is showing it off. I had the same thing happen to me on my #1 which I have no intention of ever selling.

A very tacticulo rig.

Well then Forrest. Maybe you should consider getting the “bug nut” barrel change system for your #1 AND the 29” barrel for long range shooting? I’m thinking 300gr frangible bullets in your Lott for prairie dogs? No need to actually hit them, just the mounds around them and the grenade effect would take them all out? Just thinking outside the box?

The Zombie Apocalypse ready "look how cool my weapon is" set tends to be somewhat different than the "look at the rifle I'll be using on a cape buffalo this summer" crowd you will tend to find here. You should not be surprised that experienced hunters who generally take pride in being up close and personal with a dangerous game animal are somewhat underwhelmed by a tricked out long range contraption with a twisted barrel and muzzle brake (it would earn you the least favorite client of the year award by every PH on this site). Actually, such a "weapon" would be a handicap in Africa (or anywhere in the world I have personally hunted). In fact, there is no such thing as "Safari-style Hunting at extreme long range." But you should indeed have our Texas "safari style" hunting covered - whatever you believe that is. Though, I personally haven't found an animal between here and El Paso that I couldn't cleanly take with a .270.

I am about to use my Lott to "dis-aviate" the good idea fairy which seems to be fluttering around your cranial region. Why don't I just get a muzzle brake on it? Then I can pull the trigger and knock all their teeth out and they'll starve to death! We could call it long range socialism style hunting!

The muzzle brake would be too loud! Maybe a suppressor?

This looks like a fantastic rifle. Very capable, very sturdy.

For all of you ragging on this gun, my thoughts are that your sentiments are very misplaced. This is the gun that many professional hunters were trying to have built for themselves in the early 1900’s. Those hunters always were pushing the envelope in search of more power, more capability, more insurance that their shot would anchor the quarry and result in a quick clean kill. Look at the calibers of these men - always increasing in foot-pounds of energy, the bullets always getting more capable, a higher ballistic coefficient, a more solid “solid”. Many of us hunt with rifles and calibers that emulate or mimic the weapons systems of the pre-World War II era. But if we are going to truly pay respect to that era, we must acknowledge the innovative spirit and forward thinking mind set that those pre-WWII hunters held.

No, the stock is not of the finest oak. But so what? It is impervious to the months long wet season of Uganda, the C.A.R. and the Congo. I sincelerly

Clearly the 500 grain welcome wagon missed the good idea fairy...commence the melee with the light weight cannon barrel... suppression is achieved by muzzle blast and American powder! Oorah! As the Gunny would say.

I disagree. As the OP said this is not a spot and stalk rifle. It was not designed for it. Therefore it would be the last rifle I would want to take on a buffalo hunt. (Usually less than 100 yards.)
However it will do as it was designed, deliver a lot of horsepower accurately from a distance.
I agree with Red Leg, this just isn’t the crowd to get excited over this type of rifle.
