New Rifle: Seekins Havak HIT
- Thread starter SkyScrapin
- Start date
I got tired of adjusting the spacers on my Tikka in a KRG Bravo for my wife and kids…
So, HIT in 6 Creed for them it is (wanted a 6 Gay Tiger but couldn’t find one in stock).
Can’t wait to get it in……Well,…. They can’t wait

I saw some people complaining about the comfort of the cheekrest so I emailed Wiebad asking about making a mini stock pad for the Havak Hit. They asked me to send pictures of it and the dimensions so they could make me one,. So if you like their pads I'd recommend shooting them an email.
Finally had a weekend to break in the barrel on my new Havak HIT Pro. After a 20 round break in I placed a 5 shot group at 100 meters. I’m impressed with the trigger and accuracy. The one thing that bugs me even after cycling the bolt well over 200 times as well as two action cleanings and dry lube is how the bolt can bind when running it forward. It’s smoothed out but still binds now and then. Anyone experiencing this have it go away or a solution?

Binding while shooting? Or just general cycling? In the beginning I found I had frequent hang ups, but it was always sitting around playing with the gun. I realized mostly it was me not pushing the bolt forward. Shooting the gun and on the bench, it never did it, because I'm pushing it straight forward, in line with the chamber. (12 o'clock) Where as siting in a chair or whatever I realized I was pushing the handle forward, but not really straight forwards if that makes any sense? (1-2 o'clock or up or down a bit)
Nice, they are actually in the drop down list now on their site.
I've had the binding too. Sent it back to seekins and they smoothed it out and upgraded my rifle because they're freaking awesome. Remains super accurate and with a great trigger.
The only time I ever had a bind was if I slammed the magazine too hard. Just pulled it down where the latch caught it - smooth as glass then. I usually place my thumb on the cock indicator and push. Slides incredibly easy. Waiting for more funds to get more barrels. Already have 308 and 6.5 creed. Great rifle! And customer service!
I pulled the trigger on the HIT and canceled my order before it shipped. Didn’t want to deal with binding, magazine pull down and whatever other little minor issues the gun has. I really liked the rifle though but for the price it needed to be damn near perfect for me not to be disappointed.
Ended up going with a MPA PMR Pro 2 from Xtreme Guns and Ammo. Always great service from that gun store. Shipped same day.

I have 2 HITs, 6GT and 6.5 PRC. My 6GT has about 500 rounds down it now. Shoots awesome. I have no feeding issues with 5 and 10 round AICS mags. I don’t use the Magpul mags in anything but my cross with special followers. No issues here, very happy!
1/4", 1/2"... i ask because I have Spuhr 1.35" rings on the way and don't want to push eye higher than that by using a pad.
I have not reached out but looked on the website. Seekins HAVAC HIT is a choice in the drop down menu for the mini stock pad Hav e not pulled the trigger as I am still concerned with too much added height.
I have two questions for the group:
1. Has anyone checked repeatability with the barrel change system?
2. What is the overall confidence level in Seekins ability to eventually make barrels and bolt heads readily available?

Tested it once last year when I got it, two different ways, shot 5 rounds, took barrel off, put barrel on shot 5 rounds, and also shot 1 time removed barrel, put barrel back on, and shot 1 round, repeated for a 5 round group.
I saw no change in POI or group size.
But it was only 5 shot groups, and only those two tests.
Weibad mini stock pad is really terrific. Needed to add an adhesive hook and loop to the pad and the stock however to stop it from sliding around, but once that is done it is excellent. Had to adjust the height, but it did not add too much height.
I got my PRC barrel, bolt face, and magazine but have not tested the caliber yet. I am still loving the Creedmoor. Here are some recent results with factory ammo:
PRC barrels and bolt heads never show in stock. What was your turn around time after placing your order from Seekins?
Since factory barrels seem to have become scarce again I starting thinking about aftermarket. I only looked briefly and found the one. Common sense stopped me from looking any further.. "Hey dummy, if you've been too busy with other things to shoot the barrel/caliber you have, why would you buy another one?"
Besides, new calibers I've never loaded for is my excuse for buying new rifles. Just buying new barrels would jeopardize that.
It took 7-8 months. I ordered it from Seekins just after I bought the rifle. They just held my payment info on file and then billed me when it shipped.
I bought 2 HIT's in 6.5 Creedmoor for me and my wife. Both shoot very impressive groups.....the first 7 5 shot groups in my wife's gun were all less than 1/2" with a couple .35" groups. I just have 45 rounds through mine and was cleaning it often and still squeaked out 3 5 shot groups, all under .5". Very impressive for the cost.
Would anyone want to trade a 6GT barrel for 6Creed? I’ve got 160 PCs brass to include. 320 rounds fired.
Do the metal mags bind the bolt with upward pressure or is it just the plastic magazines? Do the AW mags bind the bolt as well with upward pressure? I also read conflicting stories about the bolt binding issue during normal use beyond the magazine issue. Some say the bolt throw is rough and binds while others say the opposite. I’m interested in the rifle but if the rifle can’t be cycled while rested on the magazine,
From taking mine apart and weighing individual components (lbs):
| Havak HIT Chassis | 4.375 |
| Havak HIT Action + trigger | 2.5625 |
| M24 24" Steel Barrel in 6.5 CM | 5.36 |
Don’t shoot many groups with it. But a buddy though I was BS-ing him with the previous group.
The two shots on the bottom are from him his third one is somewhere down there… NSF!!! Haha
Then I shot this group right after him. This has to be one of, if not the most accurate rifle I’ve seen in person.
Wish it was a 3 lug but whatever. It shoots lights out! Awesome job Seekins Precision!
How have the 6.5 PRCs been overall? Thinking about that and a .223 option for plinking steel on the farm.
You getting those velocities w/ the Seekins 18" barrel? I'm getting 2850 FPS w/ 75 grain bullets out of a 22" barrel in my AR15. BTW I'm burning 24.0 grains of varget on that load.@verdugo60 FYI...
I have 6 boxes of factory Hornady ammo thru the .223 barrel now. 40 vmax at 3495fps... Flawless !!
The heavies ran great as well
75's ran 2908
88's ran 2784
Such a badass platform. Really digging this rifle.
I'm gonna swap barrels again today and build a load for the 135 Atip in the 6.5PRC barrel now
Waiting for my new 22” 223 barrel so I’ll be bumping this up.
