5 1/2 lbs. Seekins Precision Rifle

[Sigblitz]

5 1/2 lbs. Seekins Precision Rifle. 2 1/2 lbs. Timney trigger. It's supposed to be pretty accurate despite it's light weight. Weight is my biggest gripe about the Remington 700. This is pricey so it will be a hard sell to hunters. But I can still want one.

Really nice rifle and yes the price is high but so is the quality.

Very nice rifle. I haven't hunted in a while but if I did more I would be probably be placing a order. Having a few Seekins ARs I know from experience that they put out a high quality product. Haven't tried their bolt actions but with Fierce bolt actions at a pound or more heavier with a carbon barrel and twice the price, I'd say Seekins came out swinging with this one.

They build good stuff. I have a NOX 15 rifle and my issued rifle is a SP-10. I have no experience with their bolt guns, but would love to have one.

Their customer service is top notch. Glen seekins frequently posts on snipers hide to answer questions on the forums. Definitely stands behind his product.

I've almost pushed the button to purchase a Seekins SP10 6.5. Been reading wonderful reviews on and haven't heard a bad word about it. Anyone have an SP10 in 6.5?

Wow, if you think about it... take out the 2 1/2 lb trigger and it is really a 3 lb rifle.

LOL at the "rig" as tested in that article. They took an expensive, 5.5 lb rifle and set it up for long range shooting with as 1.5 lb. scope and a .5 lb suppressor, essentially pretty much duplicating the weight of many standard rifle + reasonable scope rigs.

I picked one up last year and was very happy with my choice. Would highly suggest it to anyone on the fence about picking one up. With the stock setup its easily a moa format but if you know me I'm never satisfied with stock. I wanted to get it as light as I could so I changed a few things. I changed the stock 22" barrel which was awesome but wanted lighter so went with a BSF 22" fluted carbon fiber sleeved barrel. I did swap the adjustable gas block for a Superlative Arms adjustable gas block. I swapped out the Magpul gen3 PRS for Seekins Procomp stock. I finished it off by swapping the CMC trigger with a Geissele NM and went with a Magpul Miad grip. Ended up with a 8.6lb 22" semiauto 6.5cm Of course thats before scope, rings, and bipod. It is still a easily moa rifle but at the weight I was looking for. Its definitely in my favorite circle of rifles.

If I was into bolt rifles, I'm curious what the weight on the Havoc would be if they replaced their s.s. spiral fluted barrel with a carbon fiber barrel. Quite possibly could end up with a setup at 4-5lbs. I gave them a call to find out the weight of their barrel but had zero success. Their c.s. said they would have to check and get back to me with the info. That was more than a week ago so might have to give them a call again, I'm very curious.

Only accurate rifles are interesting. I would add very accurate rifles are even more interesting.
