Keeping mine simple. Seekins rings and PST gen II. Might try to shoot it next weekend if it shows up before Friday!

You have to pull it from chassis to adjust. Comes factory 2.5lbsFor the very few that already have them, is the trigger pull adjustable without disassembling the action from the chassis?
Yeah, I like a MUCH lighter pull than that, but I don't want to screw with anything before I test out of the box accuracy. No brake or can, either.You have to pull it from chassis to adjust. Comes factory 2.5lbs
I Timmie'd mine up.Keeping mine simple.
Action is hanging up occasionally upon initial push if angle is wrong, but it's still brand new.
My havak was like this and I couldn’t stand it. I honestly think on that rifle it was the super sharp bolt stop. If you bring just a touch of pressure off of it so it still stays in the channel it worked a lot smoother. I was going to play with knocking off the sharp edges but sold it before I got that far.Picked mine up today. Overall pretty decent, but if the bolt doesn't free up, like, quickly, it can't even begin to be used as a PRS rifle. It binds to the point of locking up if you attempt to put it into battery using the bolt knob. I mean, 50lbs of force won't let it go forward. Ima practice what I preached earlier and sit in my layzboy and cycle the bolt a few hundred times. If it doesn't free up it'll go back. It's that bad.
Kinda don't understand why there's that finger on the cheek rest that blocks the bolt from coming out unless you break the folder lock and swing the butt out of the way. Was this on purpose?
Trigger is crisp, but definitely too heavy for me. That's gonna have to change.
Aside from the rather serious issue of bolt bind, it's a bitchin piece of machinery.
I like that the buttpiece height is adjustable.View attachment 7854267
I'm concerned about the lubricant making its way to the trigger mechanism and collecting dirt/debris running the bolt with a wet lube. Am I crazy in thinking this?Think of it as a new AR and run it wet!
Yes, it felt a bit heavy to me but a single example with factory (or lack of) grease in a store is probably not the best circumstance to test it. Just curious how it felt to others.Are you speaking of the bolt lift effort needed to re- cock the firing pin? So far, I've found that to be rather impressive for the price point.
You're the man, thanks brother! I would likely get a 223 Ackley barrel spun up once the bolt is in production. Especially with the easier barrel swaps it would make the idea of the training gun more viable.I sure can.
I have 50 - 75 Amax loaded and 50 - 88's loaded for .223 that I was gonna fireform for my bolt 223AI But I'll run them thru this and let ya know !
I noticed the same thing. 7 clicks on the HIT vs the full adjustment duration of the SEEKINS BRAVO. On the HIT 1.181 mount height put me right in between 2-3 clicks, 1.35 3-4 clicks, and now I have a 1.5 on the way. It just seemed there was a SUBSTANTIAL amount of rise on the HIT and was curious if the BRAVO had the same amount of "travel" available. The HIT riser digs into my cheek.I literally shot both KRG BRAVO chassis (Tikka) & HIT today.
Didn't have any match ammo, but it digested and spit out 32 rounds of Magtech M80 flawlessly.
The cheek rest is pretty skinny and I'll likely either mousepad or put a mini stock on it, but using it today I didn't really notice it.
The bolt bind is lessened from new, but there is occasionally a bind or two when messing with it in a "non shooting" position.
But I don't recall the bolt binding a single time shooting from prone or standing tripod. I believe once the finish wears off and it breaks in it will be fine. It was fine today with it's first 32 rounds.
Overall impression of shooting the HIT is very positive.
Accuracy of the KRG Bravo was the same for my T3x both factory stock (plastic parts touching the barrel were dremeled/relieved) and in the Bravo. No difference.
Usability, it's fine. Lots of people have it. I think the palm swell is too thick, and I wear XL gloves. That's the only issue other than the bottom FLEXING when mounted to a tripod (RRS attachment rail). Overall great for the price.
Look closely at the KRG X-Ray chassis iso the Bravo. It's a bit more but I think you get more for the $$$. I'd consider the Whiskey 3 as I've always liked it. if doing it again, I would go W3
The Bravo cheekpiece is very adjustable and has no detents. so you can put it anywhere. I'm not a fan of the detents on the HIT. If wanting to use the detents instead of friction, they kind of have a course/big adjustments IMO. I like the Bravo friction mounts better.
I torque my cheekpieces to 25 in/# personally. the HIT uses a Tripod-star knob which has no hex screw. I don't think the HIT cheek rest will come loose. My Bravo cheek rest at 25 in/# has never loosened.
One thing I will note is that the barrel had a bunch of tiny debris of some kind in it. Not sure what it was. But I could see it looking down from the chamber. I ran three dry patches through it and was happy when the third was pretty white. Strongly recommend you run a few dry patches down the barrel before shooting. Or just clean it, but it didn't look like it needed it to me. Will update on cleaning it at 200rds.
Yep, I bought a set of Seekins .97 rings and now have a set of 1.26 coming today. The .97 barely worked for me, but more height is definitely needed. Now to sell the other ringsI bought seekins .92 medium high rings. They are too low unless I can find a way to lower the cheek riser more.
Same boat maybe. .97 are working, but I can't stop wondering if a little higher would work a little better. Doubt is a bottomless pit.Yep, I bought a set of Seekins .97 rings and now have a set of 1.26 coming today. The .97 barely worked for me, but more height is definitely needed.
