Just ask Mr. SafariKIDD here on the Forums... I venture to guess he killed more game than you have seen.... you really have a little gun or penis problem, not sure what it is but maybe both. The 600 OK is just a tool in the toolbox it is not the end all to be all it is a tool and in the right build and hands gets the job done.... and yes, we build many 600s, 577s and losts of 500A2's and 550s.... just little big bore bolt guns at that point
He has hunted some of the biggest, baddest stuff on the planet and pictures to prove it... damn ass great hunter that has hunted worldwide. He is owner of his own business and hunts more than 99% of the people I know including myself and I take off October to Jan. to hunt! He is a great guy, he has had multiple 600 Overkills in his rifle stable..
500NE is easy to shoot with the right stance. Same goes for the 600 Nitro or 600 Overkill. Just roll into it and let the recoil do its job. I have shot lots of 500 NE's and found that the 600 OK or 600 Nitro is no worse. Depends on weight of the rifle and your standing stance. I have never shot them off of shooting sticks always a standing position.
LOL yeah, can't reason with some folks. The 600 OK is just a damn good tool in the toolbox..... I did not build mine to "have the biggest" or a bragging right, I built and use it because I know what it takes to down some badass shit that wants to crush, tear, eat or shred you... the 600 is just an insurance policy when it all goes bad. That and it is a real hoot to shoot! It really is a well balanced weapon. I have seen some 600s that are totally unmanaged.... I like mine mid-range weight and mid-range length under 25" barrels down to 20" --- the 600 with 825 grain bullets actually shoot about equal on par with my 458 Lott at 7.0 lbs. the 600 OK is about 13 lbs
600s hard to find but you can still get the 550 gr 458 Woodleighs https://www.huntingtons.com/store/product.php?productid=19966
OK, since it’s still to damn hot out here to mow the lawn on my DAY OFF from work, I’ll stir the larger than life bore and recoil cauldron. Why is the .600 OK a better, more suitable choice in a bolt action rifle than say, the .500 MDM or .458 MDM or B & M class of wildcats which use shorter barrels and have velocities equal to their longer competitors’ cartridges? Or, even the mainstays .500 Jeffrey or .505 Gibbs? When does larger and larger become an exercise in diminishing returns? Don’t get me wrong here, I would love to shoot all of the above at least once, but have no desire or hunting use for owning one. But again, to each their own.

I know better than to venture where chest waders are required attire and cranberries or duck hunting isn't involved.
