Seriously looking at the Seekins Havak PH2 ,it will be a bench gun 6.5 CM or 308.
Seen a lot of good reviews but I also see a lot for sale in the used rifle market.That always gets me wondering why so many used ones for sale.dont want to drop $1800 + and regret it because I didn’t do my homework.Would appreciate any input.
Thanks

My wife shoots one for hunting. It's a decent rifle for the money, but not full on custom quality. She got the NRL edition in 6cm so triggertech diamond and mloc for a arca.

In my limited experience the barrel seems to foul quicker then I'm use to with cut rifled barrels, but is very accurate and was easy to find a load for.

The stock has a pretty short LOP, it's shorter then I'd like, but fits my wife perfectly. It's also a plasticy carbon fiber. Like a injection molded plastic, but with a more solid carbon fiber.

So I guess all in all it's a decent rifle if the stock fits you. After dealing with Seekins on another Rifle they went above and beyond to make it right, so I felt comfortable about dealing with them.

Thank you ,I have seen there customer service is fantastic.I can’t get my hands on one to see how the stock fits but it should be fine.

I'd like to own one. lol

I planned on buying a used one at one point. Then I played the "might as well" game.
"If you're spending that much money, you might as well spend some more and get a new one."
Once acclimated to that idea I applied it to the Bravo.
And again, once I got used to that price, I applied it to the soon to be released HIT. Which I bought.
And I really like. The problem is I still want a PH2. :D (or even an Element if we're buying things I don't need and can't pay for)

But I don't really need another "open spaces" hunting rifle, since I don't hunt in open spaces. How 'bout you whip me up a 20" one in a caliber I don't have, like .358Win or something. Sure, I need that like I need a hole in the head, but at least it would fill a teeny tiny spot in my accumulation. ;)

But yeah, if it's just going to be a range/bench gun, the HIT is the way to go.

I had a ph2 on 6.5prc. Fantastic rifle and stellar accuracy.

I wouldn’t buy it for a bench gun though.

I liked it so much that I bought the 223 and 308 bolt heads to turn it into a switch barrel. I changed plans because the few people making prefits stopped due to in consistent tolerances according to them and I didn’t like that I had to remove the scope rail to use the action wrench.

If you want a light weight hunting rifle it’s hard to beat, you can’t build a similar rifle for cheaper.

Just took an buck Antelope with my PH2 in 6.5 PRC. Awesome rifle and the customer service is beyond spectacular.

That said, it’s a hunting rifle not a range gun.

That kinda depends on what your range is.

There's plenty of people using the NRL variant to win matches, including Bennie Cooley.

It seems to be a pretty versatile rifle. I get your point though. If you're sitting at a bench shooting groups, a heavier rifle is probably a better bet.

It’s light weight.
Does not come with m loks for rail or arca for bipod
Low non adjustable cheek weld
Thin taper spiral flute barrel heats up quick
Non adjustable LOP
Non adjustable grip
Stock forend is tapered and round ( I actually 3D printed a flat based sled that conforms to the forend for load testing on my bench rest.)

Most of those thing make it ideal for hunting but not so much for a “bench gun” as the OP stated.

For NRL yes.

Correct on all accounts.

However, you can add an arca rail to the stock which gives you a flat bottom.

To my point, it just depends on what you're going to do with it. You CAN skin a lot of cats with the rifle but it's not going to be hyper specialized for any particular role.
