Just fired my new Seekins PH2 in 7 mm Rem. Mag last week with my hunting buddy. He and I took 3 shots each using two different factory grain loads from Federal. Overall for the 6 shots, 7/8 inch group. Pretty amazing!
I don't have a Seekins, I wouldn't mind having one; I was shopping for one the other day and, I ended up with a Fierce Rival FP in 300PRC. Looking forward to doing some hunting with it this fall.
Nice, I have the same seekins .300 PRC I bought last year. Mine also really likes the Hornady Match 225gr. (Not as much with the ELD-x) I did buy a suppressor for it Thunderbeast Gen 2 Ultra 9. (Still in NFA jail) Before I put the brake on the gun (that came with the suppressor) it kicked hard AF that brake really tammed the rifle. Before that brake got installed it was not pleasant to shoot about 3-6 rounds and I was done right out of the box damn kind of scared to even shoot it. But with the brake on I can shoot it all day now. Once the suppressor goes on it won't kick at all.
With a good brake it will kick less than just about any suppressor. (I still prefer suppressor) I've got a Savage factory brake on my .338 Lapua (110FCP HS Precision) and it kicks less than my BAR Mk3 in .308 (285gr 338s vs 150gr 308s)
you should get a Seekins Precision ATC muzzle break for both the 6.5 and 300 PRC rifles and show the difference in recoil on them with/out the breaks. then post it so we can see it.
Hi I am looking for a rifle rigged now chamber in 300 prc. I am looking to bergara premier pro in stainless steel. If weight it’s not the problem what do you like better. Bergara or Sikkens?
I just picked up a ph2 in 300prc and it only shoots 1.5” for sum reason with the 225 I think the bedding is not good torquing the front screw I see the barrel twist
EuroOptic, I thought you guys were fairly local to me… Nice shooting rifle, can’t say I’m a fan of the fluted barrel and bolt but hard to argue about those groups!
Really tossing between the Havak PH2 and the Bergara Premier Approach/Canyon/Divide in 300PRC or 300WM to replace my Tikka 300wm. With y’all’s experience would you steer me toward the Seekins or Bergara for the larger magnum calibers?
It's really hard to say. Both are in the same price range and our experience has been positive with both brands. If you get an opportunity, I would handle both and see which one you prefer. I don't know if you have a local shop that would have both.
