Looking at the Seekins Havak Element in 7PRC for a lightweight mountain Elk hunting gun. 6# rifle with a 1:8 twist 22” barrel. It’s light, and short enough to add a suppressor without being too heavy or making it too long. What does the hide think?
 
Just received mine, have not shot it yet. We also have a PH2, and are very impressed with it, thus leading us down this road. Prob would have gone ph2 again except only currently available in 26" barrel. I have talked to a few that have both, and they love and go to the Element first for mountain/hiking hunting. I have a zeiss v6 3-18x50 that will be going on it. Without rings and scope it is silly light, also planning on shooting suppressed. Barrel contour very thin. It also came with a seekins muzzle brake. Will not get a chance to shoot it for about 3 weeks, second child getting married.
I have so far been very impressed with Seekins. Planning on shooting the 175 eldx. I am delighted so far, we will see how i can shoot it, I have no doubt the gun will do its part, and for dome reason it does not, I have no doubt Seekins will take care of me.
 
sounds very similar to the package deal I’m looking at from Scheels. Except it has Leupold VX-6 3-18. I agree it is stupid light. Just a little concerned about recoil from such a light rifle.
 
pulled the trigger on the Element in 7PRC. Dude you’re not going to be disappointed. It’s a very accurate rifle. I shot factory 175g ELD-X today and got 2885 fps from the 22” barrel. Recoil seemed a little less than my heavier 7mm RM. Now we just need more factory ammunition.
