Patriot Valley Arms Modus Rifle

[coldboremiracle]

Everybody loves new rifle stories so I figured I'd share one. Patriot Valley Arms has been around here for a long time, but they just started offering this Modus rifle from the factory. The Modus is a precision built light hunting rifle, there are ultralight options as well for an added cost. I used the rifle this year for hunting season with great results. Mine is a 6.5PRC but it is available in other calibers as well. If your curious, you can read more about the rifle in the link below:

That DBM looks like it is the Hawkins Hunter.

For me, Hawkins own specific Hunter Mags fit in there a tad easier than an Accurate or MDT SA magnum round magazine (300 wsm/6.5 prc)

BUT, normal AI mags for .473 bolt face rounds have a little rattle in the Hawkins Hunter for me. The magpul poly AI works a tad better… the Hunter mags are the quietest and fit nearly flush, almost like a BDL

I also saved a decent amt of weight swapping from a rail and Seekins rings to the Hawkins direct mount UL rings too.
Nice to shed any weight during long miles of mtn hunts!!

Looks like it comes in just above the pricepoint of a Seekins Element, which is good. Always good to have competition within price ranges and Seekins hasn't had much recently. Though obviously weights are different.

It is, I was surprised how tight the mags fit into it. Both the Accurate and Amend2 mags fit very tight. Turns out I preferred it, because there is ZERO rattle, and they are retained stiff enough that I have zero concerns of accidently dropping mags.
