Seekins Precision HIT Rifle #MightCancelAT-XOrder

[Tritiumdials]

This looks really promising. Quick change barrel, folding stock, sweet chassis, adjustable magwell to accept AICS/AW pattern mags and we're not forced to buy red.

I'm intrigued.... will keep an eye on this thread for some additional input.

 

[Bungi]

Very interesting -- looking forward to the results of the testing of the quick-change barrel system

 

[NovaHunter]

Got my dad an original Havak PH1. I've played with it a bit, and loved everything about it except the bolt lift was really heavy.

If they've lightened the bolt lift on their gen 2 Havaks, then this rifle looks like an awesome option for the price.

 

[BuLLet]

Oh boy, I'm in on this one....

 

[Newlongrange]

Any idea if they will make a left handed model?

Might be a good gift for my oldest in a couple years.

 

[Reload10]

$2100 seems cheap for that!

 

[Newlongrange]

$2100 seems cheap for that!

It does, all in one type of anything makes me a bit leery.

But if it’s the real deal I like the idea of potentially versatile it would be at that price point.

 

[pnorris]

Wow, waiting anxiously on some field tests of this rifle. That is a great looking gun for an amazing price point from a very respectable company.

 

[shax2lex]

Following...

 

[phlegm]

I hope this is a good rifle. I'm cautious to think it would be good enough to pass up an AI.

 

[Newlongrange]

I’m curious to see how much 3rd party support it gets and how difficult it will be to get alternative barrels to switch out with.

 

[Terry Cross]

Glen makes really good stuff.
Smart dude and great team there.

[Niles Coyote]

I'll gladly run one in PRS Production division next year and start a review thread... Just waiting to see the Pro or Competition model drop on Europtics in a 6GT @jb1000br @Glen Seekins

 

[BuLLet]

Only the pre-production is on hand @ EuroOptic

no weight listed is a poor marketing choice

 

[Niles Coyote]

no weight listed is a poor marketing choice

There was a weight listed last night on seekins site but has disappeared now... it was listed as 11.5

Maybe it was eurooptic.com cause they have it on the description... probably add an additional pound for the muzzle brake and arca rail.

seems like an odd weight

too heavy for a hunting gun and too light for PRS. kind of just a target weight for the average person which i guess is okay for most people who want more weight than a stock savage/rem700 but dont want 20+ pounds

 

[Lowholer]

I like this rifle I will be watching this develop.
Is this available ? I could not find it at euro optic?

I thought the same at first but after researching the rules for the PRS Production division, you are allowed to add weights. So this might not be much of an issue depending on how the rifle balances from the start. I figure it'll be around 15-16 pounds the way I will set it up before adding any weights.

Jason said in his video to expect them around the 1st of the new year IIRC... They are on the site here https://www.eurooptic.com/Seekins-Havak-HIT-Rifles.aspx

 

[Newlongrange]

The barrel change is available on both standard and pro correct?

 

[Niles Coyote]

That is my understanding, both are the same with the exception of the trigger, the addition of a arca rail and muzzle brake.

 

[SD Carpenter]

The question is what the barrel thread will be for the prefit market, either way it's alot of rifle for $2k

 

[Newlongrange]

I emailed them about it.

Thank you for contacting Seekins Precision! All versions of the HIT rifle will be able to change calibers very easily! The main difference with the Pro version will be extra accessories and an upgraded trigger. If changing between standard short action calibers (308, 6 Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor) only the barrel will need to be changed. If switching to the PRC you would need a magnum bolt head ($95) and a 6.5 PRC magazine ($90). I hope this info helps and please let us know if you have any other questions.

For anyone interested

 

[SD Carpenter]

Damn a 95$ bolt head is a steal in itself

 

[b6graham]

first plunger ejector in a swappable bolthead?

 

[Midpack]

first plunger ejector in a swappable bolthead?

No. Begara has them in their premier actions

 

[huntnh]

Could be a decent choice for the nrl hunter matches

It doesn't matter what the threads are. You contact *insert favorite smith* and give them open source prints. Boom, prefit.

 

[Bungi]

Do you think a pre-fit barrel for the HIT rifle would be more expensive and/or more difficult because of Seekins' quick-change system ?

Or would it be just as simple as the others?

 

[huntnh]

Just like the Zeus or vector prefits easy

 

[buggz]

So, my Zermatt TL3 that STILL sits in the box, may do so for an even longer time now?

 

[Bungi]

good news -- thanks huntnh

 

[efl15]

Nice looking rifle and price. The dust cover is interesting.

 

[Biggie1976]

I dig it

 

[Milf Dots]

Based on Seekins' own video footage it sounds like a LH model is not a priority for them- they laugh about it.

 

[WB300]

Anyone know if this will eventually be offered through Cabelas/Bass Pro? I have a ton of points.

In another thread on this I read $500/bbl if you order it/them with the gun or $550 after that.

 

[deersniper]

Anyone have one yet ?
