I searched through old threads to see if this had already been discussed, but I didn’t come up with anything, so here goes... I currently have a Ruger precision in 6.5 creedmoor and a Seekins SP10 set up for steel at 600-1000. I am shooting sub MOA groups with factory Hornady loads through the RPR but I am looking at the Seekins Havak. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this rifle and how it would compare to the Ruger, SP10?
RPR or Seekins Havak?

You're gonna need to be more specific than that. Which Havak model? What caliber? Do you experience any deficiencies or shortcomings with the RPR that you hope to correct? Not really sure what you're hoping to find out. Both are very nice rifles and will be sub MOA. Havak has a higher level of fit/finish and is lighter. That may be a positive or a negative depending on your intended usage. Can't really give you a better response without more info.
My apologies. I am interested in the Seekins Havak Pro Hunter PH1. I love the 6.5 creedmoor so for the sake of comparing apples to apples, are there any advantages/disadvantages to that rifle over the RPR for bench shooting steel out to 1000? As far as I’m concerned there are no shortcomings or deficiencies with the RPR. Just looking to see if the Havak might be a superior choice for long range. Thanks for the info.
Assuming you have a "good" RPR and a "good" PH1 (i.e. both shoot sub MOA with no problems), the PH1 will probably be a downgrade. The RPR is a heavier rifle, with a fully adjustable chassis, and has a heavier barrel. Speaking generally those are the exact features you want in a bench gun. The PH1 is a lightweight rifle designed to be carried through the mountains for hunting. It will have harsher recoil, the barrel will heat up faster, etc. Those are the tradeoffs you make to get a lightweight rifle.
