Seekins DMR 223 Wylde or Piece together

[UKMan]

Any experience with the Seekins DMR in 223 Wylde? Been looking at piecing together a 5.56/.223 "precision" build for awhile.

Originally looking at putting a WOA complete upper with their predator 20'" barrel on a LWRC lower with a Larue trigger. That build would come in a couple hundred cheaper than the Seekins but wondering if buying the overall rifle from Seekins would be better for overall tolerances/ready to go out of the box. Thanks!

The semi-monolithic reciever is worth the upcharge. If you want to save money go with the Aero enhanced. Upper to lower fitment is about the same comparing several Aero sets to my Seekins.

My Seekins dmr shoots incredible. Easily 1 moa sometimes better if I really try and if I get a lucky box of ammo.

Mine have all been custom built with Seekins receivers and a few Seekins parts like XRay stock sometimes and proprietary handguards. Barrels, triggers, BCGs, springs, grips, AGB, etc I have my own preferences. I’ve never seen any complaints though with factory Seekins rifles. They offer great CS whether you build or buy completed.

After shooting the Havak Hit, if I were looking for a complete right now Seekins would be short list for sure. I've built some nice shooting ARs but went ready-made for a bolt gun, and I might be lazy enough to do another ready-made in AR some time. Seekins would be at or near top of my list. Ridgeline too.

Building a nice shooting .223 Wylde isn't too tough. But building one with parts optimized against rail deflection etc narrows your choices and it can take some effort & time to replicate what you would get in a Seekins or Ridgeline. And your final product still might not be, in all cases, their equal.
