I am looking at rifles to shoot in factory class. What rifles are being used competitively and why? I have been looking at the Seekins PH2 NRL, Savage 110 Carbon Tactical, and Tikka UPR. I have a Seekins Element in 300PRC and would get one in 6.5 Creed if the stock was adjustable, but it's not...Thanks!

What rifles are being used in NRL H factory class?

Seekins hands down for the win in factory class. It is the best set up rifle out of the box and having a tt diamond is a win for sure. Just don’t be lame and game by getting the 6 creed like all the other gamers. Be a man and shoot a real nrl hunter caliber 
x2 for Seekins...
Tikkas are pretty great, but the 24" UPR would only leave you 3.6lbs for a scope & bipod. Certainly workable, but just plan ahead (brake, scope, rings, bipod)
I saw quite a few Bergaras last year, skip those. Many are priced like a Seekins, but machined like a #RR 700

Man...and I was just thinking that 6 Creed would be sweet! Now you had to go ahead and shame me! ...Seekins hands down for the win in factory class.

I did! I think they messed up big time on that rule. The entire point of nrl hunter was to keep calibers like that out but then it was only a matter of time till someone figured out a loophole. My opinion of course there like assholes.Man...and I was just thinking that 6 Creed would be sweet! Now you had to go ahead and shame me! ...
Maybe a different Tikka? I really want to get something I can shorten the stock on, and that's why I mentioned to Savage. It can go down to 12.75 LOP.
Possibly. I wouldn’t consider any models that have unthreaded barrels, since you’re only allowed to add a brake if the barrel ships threaded from the factory. Being able to easily see impacts/misses is huge for me
I see a lot of Seekins and Tikka's. Beware if you're going with Tikka - the barrels are typically slow, so it might be hard to make power factor in 6.5C if you're not shooting factory ammo (and care about PF). It'll be very tight to make weight with the 24" CTR, SV, or UPR if you're shooting a with a can, and the 20" versions will take an even bigger velocity hit.
Maybe I am wrong, but I thought factory didn't have a power factor just a case minimum? Hence the disparaging 6mm comments above
Tikkas have lots of free bore; mine is about 100fps slower than other makes. I’m working up a load right now. With 144 Bergers, even with a non-binder plane mag, I can only get within 40 thou of the lands.
Correct, I forgot Factory rifle division is exempt from the floor.Maybe I am wrong, but I thought factory didn't have a power factor just a case minimum? Hence the disparaging 6mm comments above
