Looking to pull the trigger on my 1st 6.5 purchase, narrowed it down to the following: MPA BA, ARC Archimedes or Nucleus, or the new Seekins Hit

I know there is no real world feedback for the HIT yet, but would love to get some input/opinions.

ZCO 527 for the scope, would love to eventually stretch out to 1M, but mostly 1000yards or less for the time being.

Thanks everyone!

The HIT looks like a winner for the money... I'm already on the list for one.. maybe two.

I agree with your train of thought. I'm a big fan of the ARC Nucleus and would lean that way for a rifle I'm putting together piece by piece. The Seekins HIT does look like a lot of bang for your $$$.

the HIT uses Rock Creek barrels too

Arc nucleus rifle. Ready to go, great action, great chassis
Personally I prefer the xylo chassis over my MPA and MDT so far.

The mpa setups are hard to beat for the price.

think your going to love which ever one you buy they all look like great platforms to shoot with and it's 6.5 you know gods going to be smiling down on you .

Both great options.
I’d go with the ARC rifle but that’s just my preference.

I've been shooting an ARC Nucleus in competition for the last 2 years and really like the action. My friend was shooting an left hand Curtis MPA rifle and in my opinion the ARC action was way smoother than the Curtis action in the MPA.

If you plan on buying the complete rifle, Nuke>Archimedes. There isn't enough there to justify the $600 cost to upgrade.
If you are buying the action and building on it, totally worth the $100 to get the Archimedes over the nuke.
The Seekins HIT looks awesome for the money and Seekins puts out quality.

Thanks for the reply. Was curious about spending the extra $ for the Archimedes vs the Nuke.

Nucleus for sure. I will finally be able to hang a barrel off mine this weekend.

I bought mine off gunbroker last Monday. It arrived Friday and I was able to get it to the range on Sunday.

Rifle: HIT 6mm Creedmoor.
I have a Timney Hit trigger on order for it.

Optic: Vortex Razor Gen II 4.5-27x56 EBR 7C MRAD
Mount: Spuhr 4001 (with the Spuhr it functions perfectly with the dust cover. No catch at all)

Brake: Area 419 Hellfire Match 6mm

Arca Rail: Area 419 12”

Bipod: Atlas with 419 Arca adapter

Weight is 16.7 with no mag

Shot .38 MOA at the range Sunday. I am in no way a great shooter. I think the rifle is actually better than that. I stretched it to 800 yards that day. Avg speed 2939 (on shot 5-15 on the rifle, 10 shot string) with Hornady 108 eld m. I do realize that I’ll have to run another chrono test after I shoot it more.

I have a 6.5 PRC barrel/mag bolt head, custom case on order. The ability to change barrels so easily I’m really excited for.

Hope this helps. The value of this rifle is incredible.
