Anyone know if the new M3 (60 degree bolt) takes AW mags? Curious to know if there's a six o' clock lug stripping rounds off the magazine. As I understand it, that's the most reliable bolt face orientation for an AW.
Looks like batches of HIT PRO M3's landed at a lot of retailers this past weekend and most of all the online ones have been snatched up. Let's hear about them/see them guys!
I’m not seeing any accuracy reports on any of these rifles… How do the shoot? How’s the quality? I don’t know if I should get one of these or build one. I’m thinking a 25 creedmoor is that available
I've been getting decent groups so far. at distance same results/accuracy as i did with my delta 5 pro which was a tac driver. The bolt is smooth and falls into place well (the receiver has like a curved cutout instead of a straight face that guides the bolt in. Haven't used the quick change feature yet. the chassis doesn't wiggle and locks up nice but the stock doesn't lock into place when folded which is kind of a bummer. NV rail bridge fits perfect and is rock solid. Loving mine overall. I'm gonna go shoot it again tomorrow and try to get a prone grouping, all my groups so far have been standing leaning over a table with a rear bag and bipod but I want to get down on the ground where i have more stability.

Does anyone make internal weights for the rail of the Havok Hit chassis?
Has anyone taken the time to look down the receiver, muzzle end to chamber, before threading on your different barrels. I decided to clean out the internal threads and when I got to the end I noticed like this O-Ring/thin metal washer almost, that is housed after the last thread and the "wall" of the chamber. It reminded me of a gas ring on an AR Bolt, but it was behind the last thread. Anyone else note this? I tightened the barrel as normal, torqued down T15, and it shoots perfect. I have reached out to Seekins HIT but they don't know what I'm talking about and want me to pull the barrel and take a picture. I don't want to pull the barrel lol. Would it be something that "presses" the last barrel thread "gently" flat against the chamber receiver flat?
Anyone have a lead on 223 barrels or bolts? I'd really like an 18" profiled for AEM5.
Also anyone recommend a barrier/bag stop for running AW mags? Only complaint is the magwell isn't long enough so that when you throw a bag on a barricade and load the magwell into it with an AW mag it presses on the mag and sometimes binds the bolt up.
16" 308 barrel installed.

My HIT has been serving me great and i couldnt be happier. Yeah it still has A little bolt bind if i am erratic but it is a hammer and bolt is smooth as it gets with going custom.

My new baby is finally here. 6.5cr. Put a 7-35 on with an APA Fat Bastard and Accutac pod. Trying out AW mags to start, we'll see how it goes. Going to shoot in the next couple of days. I have to say, even without the optic, it's heavier that i was expecting. (which i like, i'm not a hunter).
Savior LRP 51" case, fits perfectly if you live in a can-banned state. If you had a can, you'd probably want the 55" case. Also my tippmann long rod peeks a little proud of the case too. Not exactly sold on the cover for the optic and muzzle. If i did matches maybe, but i don't. So nice to have, but meh.

My factory 6.5CM barrel loves the 147's at a .010 jump. Just randomly threw together a load that shot well in another rifle to go shoot it when I got it and it was 3/4moa and got impacts at a mile. Gonna fine tune that load once I get another 100 through the barrel
These things are so good for the price. Made me completely forget about wanting an ATX.
I have a Hit Pro M2, bought it with 6.5 CM barrel, recently got another 6.5 CM barrel and a 24" .308 Win barrel.
Barrel swaps -- super easy. Accuracy held from original 6.5 CM mounted barrel, through swap to .308 Win for about 75 rds, and then back to 6.5 CM.
I have good luck with Hornady 140gr ELD-M, Hornady 140gr BTHP ("American Gunner" and "Match" bulk boxes of 200), hand loads with Hornady 140gr ELDM, hand loads with Berger 140gr Hybrid Target, hand loads with 108gr Lapua Scenar.
The .308 Win barrel only saw Sierra factory 168gr and 175gr Match King rounds and liked them both.
I think it's a great bargain and a fine precision rifle. Only minor quarrel is the cheek riser has index notches spread farther apart than is perfect for me, but that's easily fixed with padding.

Consider this to get between detents: https://wiebadgear.com/product/mini-stock-pad/ (and more comfortable to boot).
Yeah i just ordered some American gunner, it would be great it that groups nicely. Price is good. ELDM140's were ok, but the Fed SMK's beat it out for me...
Going to the the S&B and Fed OTM's this time just to change it up.

Norma Golden Target should work well if you can find some.
The American Gunner and Match labelled bulk boxes apparently are the same round with different labels, if it is "Match" labelled but not 140 ELDM -- and 140 BTHP instead. I used it recently at the Snipers Hide 3-day class in Nebraska, happy with the results, but I have hand loaded rounds with more consistent ES and thus more consistent elevation at longer distances. Still that 140gr BTHP stuff did fine on the longer targets at the class. For time-pressured must hits like PRS match I would prefer ELDM 140gr factory, if using factory ammo from Hornady. Bergers would be smarter.
When new, the bolt's channel for the bolt release button/lever and the little nub on the lever have pretty close tolerances that will wear in with dry and live fire or just bolt cycling. I used a tiny bit of grease on the lever nub, and in the bolt channel, when it was new. Now with about 850 rds through it, it runs like butter with just a tiny coat of Mobil.
In the dry dust of Nebraska, it needed a daily wipedown/clean and re-oil.
Thanks for the reminder on the Wiebad cheek pad. I saw that back before I bought the Hit, never went back and bought the pad.

One of the very earliest Seekins HIT in .308 and is extremely accurate with factory 175s Federal and Norma Golden Target. It does even better with factory 185s from Federal and Berger. Picked up an OEM Seekins 6.5CM barrel from a member here along with some Hornady 140gr BTHP (American Gunner), and is just as super accurate. POI shift is .25 up and .75 left. Couldn't be happier with everything.
So great to hear so many people are discovering these things. I can't believe how late I was to the party. I made sure to grab an optic with locking elevation turrets and easy reset windage so it's easy to zero out turrets per zero for each barrel.
Now I just really need to find a 223 bolt and barrel!
The HIT offering was an easy button to get into my first PRS flavored type rifle. My last precision rifle was a Savage 110 Precision from years back. I started to look into higher quality type barreled actions and chassis and took the plunge. The HIT will only entice you into other options like MPA, Manners, and all the items of the like. Tons of knowledge here on the forum
I've carefully assembled several gas gun ARs for precision, and my first leaning was to build something with action, barrel, chassis, trigger. The Seekins made me choose "easy button" and I am glad I did, it shoots great, runs great, easy barrel swaps.
