    500-700 elk/deer lightest recoil?

    I love my 28nosler but for my dad the recoil and very expensive factory ammo it doesn’t seem a right fit. I was thinking 6.5 PRC?

    500-700 elk/deer lightest recoil?

    So my father was out with me today shooting my Seekins Havak 6mm creedmoor our to 800 yards and was tickled pink shooting 12in targets that far out with factory ammo. He is 62 and wants to buy/build a new Colorado deer/elk combo. He has access to a range out to 1 mile and will shoot this rifle...

    **6 Creedmoor**

    Ha when in doubt buy big!!! 15 years ago a 50mm scope was considered a huble telescope.

    **6 Creedmoor**

    Exactly!! Nothing is free and I figured it’s a better vice than sitting at the bar so might as well shoot while the eyes are sharp.

    **6 Creedmoor**

    I’ve got roughly 300 through the barrel. It’s a Seekins havak PH1. I’m not worried about barrel life. I’ll be happy to get 1100-1200. This is a hunting/steel rig....I put barrel expenses into bullets, powder, primers. Just part of the fun shooting fast light bullets.

    **6 Creedmoor**

    Wow you’ve got a fast barrel. I’m running 105’s with 42.2 h4350 and I’m at 3130.... nothing wrong with less powder and more speed!! Just a little jealous ?

    Rifle Scopes Scope my Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5

    I’ve got a 4.5-18 LRHSi on my 6mm creed Seekins Havak. Amazing scope!! I want to stay lighter than the Bushnell. I found a great deal on a vx5hd 3-15. I’ll see how it feels on the fieldcraft. This rifle is meant for long hikes into canyons and short to medium distance shots. This will be my...

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    Well you might as well just sell it to me then, it’s garbage... jk but seriously if I checked ever screw to spec then I’d get a buddy who shoots well to see if maybe you don’t have a good check weld or something like that.... if all else fails call Seekins. It should not throw fliers all the time

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    I would check action and scope screws. Assuming the scope is reliable.... my PH1 6mm has been great with everything from factory to handloads. Maybe some guys with the PRC will chime in. I’ve gotta believe it is a loose screw somewhere.

    **6 Creedmoor**

    I’m jumping them .035 and getting 3130fps over 42.2 gr H4350. Half MOA out to 700

    Rifle Scopes Scope my Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5

    Sounds like the majority of people on the Fire don’t like Leupolds. The VX5hd looks like it ticks a lot of boxes but then it sounds like they are using the same technology on the internals as the lower end scopes, which don’t get high reviews for reliability. Can you put a dial on the vortex...

    Rifle Scopes Scope my Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5

    That’s my concern with Leupy. Love the weight and glass but I’ve heard troubles with tracking and holding zero. Does anybody have the newest release of vx3i’s and and comment on reliability? Anybody using Tract Optics? They seem to check a lot of boxes. Looks like the Tekoa and Toric are made in...

    Rifle Scopes Scope my Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5

    Looking for a scope that will balance well for my new Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5. Looking to twist turrets occasionally out to 600-800 for steel and paper. Hunting rig out to 500 for ethical shots. Budget is $500-900. What are you guys running on flyweight rifles? What would you guys choose?

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    I remember reading somewhere in this thread but can’t find where in the 20+ pages about somebody making an aftermarket bottle handle/knob. Does anybody have a link or could shed light on this. Maybe I’m thinking of a different thread.

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    I have the first gen ph1 stock which I think was a game scout McMillan. From the reports ive heard the new stock is very similar and no negative reviews. I’d shoot it for a few weeks before ditching it.

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    I have a 6mm creed and I shot a 5 shot group at .6 with factory Barnes LRX. My hand loads Berger VLD 105 with h4350 have all been .5 MOA. I honestly am thinking of just buying factory ammo and not wasting time hand loading when they shoot just as good.... I’d jump all over that deal.

    Rebarrel Kimber Classic 243win?

    Thank you for the tips. I’ve got a Kimber .270 classic that shoots great. You are correct about letting the barrel cool. They heat up very very quick. As I’ve read throughout many forums the accuracy is very spotty. Unfortunately I think this one is just not an “accurate”. I should call Kimber...

    Rebarrel Kimber Classic 243win?

    I’ve got a absolutely beautiful Kimber Classic 243win. The wood stock has fiddle backing throughout and it is such a nice light handy package, butttttt it shoots like shit. 4-5 factory offerings and nothing under and inch. 3-4 handloads (Sierra, Barnes, Berger) only Barnes at 1.25 inch. The...

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    When you took the bolt out you might have bumped the “shroud” I think it’s called. It can rotate with fingers and it will click into place.... I did the same thing and couldn’t figure it out for a little bit but finally rotated the back of the bolt and it clicked into place. Try that and see if...
