Seekins Precision DMR 6MM ARC

Anyone have experience with the Seekins DMR in 6ARC? What kinds of groups are you getting with Hornady factory ammo? Any reliability issues? How is the overall build quality?

It’s a Seekins. lol They build excellent rifles. If it has the specs you like then I am sure you would be happy with it.

Mine has been great after breaking the barrel in which took longer than I thought it should have. Shot a few hundred Hornady 105/108s to break in and get brass. Around 1moa with 108s and 1.5 with the 105s. Then started load developement with 95g Berger VLDs since I had 1500 of them.

The 95s were a little picky on seating depth and after about 150rds with the 95s messing with Lever showing lots of potential but nothing to write home about I ran some JB through the bore followed with boretech eliminator. This was the ticket! The 95s started hammering after that. The factory 108s also shot much better. Probably a .5-.7moa shooter.

95g Bergers at 2930fps is a beautiful thing in an AR Lever is so stinking dirty though, I shoot my bolt guns more but the Seekins is a keeper. All suppressed obviously

Very happy with my 18”. Have about 100rnds through it. Factory ELDM is .5”-.75”. Zero malfunctions. Build quality is as good as an higher end AR.
Added a Sawtooth rail, TT Diamond and a NF 4-32.

My Seekins 6arc is a 22”. It’s a hammer and has been 100% reliable. Factory Hornady Match 108s will print with all rounds touching at 100yds more likely than not and this was straight out the box.

My only complaint is the rifle length gas. It’s much harsher than it needs to be and Seekins per an email have no plans to go to a plus 2 like everyone else. I’ll likely chop mine down to 18” to lessen the already much too long dwell time.

Great to hear. Ill go for the 18 inch then when they come back in stock.

Wow. half-3/4 MOA on a gasser with factory ELDMs? That's as glowing a report as I have ever seen. No break or suppressor?

Why the price drop between the DMRs and their SP10s? Just tighter tolerances? Better QC?

The SP10 is a large frame AR. Not the same rifle.

This was my experience as well with the 22” DMR.
First range trip-4 shots for a rough zero at 50, 1 more at 100 got it almost perfect. Next 5 shots were a ragged hole. 5 more with same results, so I jumped to 300 and a 5” gong was boringly easy to hit. Factory loaded 108 ELD-M’s. MV in the mid 2700’s.
