When I placed my order and called them if they got my FFL info, I asked about wait time and he told me 4 months. Looks like less

Same here. Btw what mags is everybody using? Was thinking of getting magpul aics 10rd if I can find them, if not MDT maybe?
I’m going to use AW aics mags but that’s what I’m running in my current rig
I ordered mine today in 6.5 CM. I was really strongly considering 6.5 PRC but talked myself out of it. CS rep told me around 4 months, that should still give me time to hunt deer season in KY or TN. I already have seekins rings and a Bushnell DMR 2 waiting for it in the safe.
Thanks...I’m hoping for a similar time line as I know the 6.5 CM orders are prolly 50% of the total number.
Well, you could kill a deer or an elk deader than a doornail with a 6.5PRC.
Where did you send your stock?Mammoth, why would you have to bed the stock again if you added an adjustable cheek piece? The rifle already comes bedded from Seekins.
If this is the rile you guys are talking about it's mine. All I did was send the stock to Stock Doc and have him do his adj. cheek piece job on it. Got the stock back, dropped my barreled action back in, and went shooting.
Joe Ducos. You have to email him - [email protected]
Joe does outstanding work and is an excellent person to work with.
Thanks for posting Bri0243 I just emailed Joe about the cheek piece mod...When I receive the gun from Seekins that is.
I have a Seekins Havak PH1 in 300 Win Mag NIB but test fired at the factory I am going to sell for $1700. Let me know if interested. This rifle Has the New carbon fiber stock made by Seekins and carbon fiber magazine.
I appreciate the offer let me see if I can get a ETA as my time line is tight this year.
I have a 6mm CM and it’s a great rifle. I actually replaced the stock with a modified to fit HS varmint.
Only thing I had to get used to was the force required to close the bolt. Must cock on closing or something. It’s a drill....
Can’t find last weeks targets at the moment but they were 1/2 MOA with 105 AM. Factory ammo is good also...

Sorry I missed this previously. I am getting just under 3K fps with 143 ELD-X and 2930 with 147 ELD-M.
That being said, it is a new barrel and 24". I have a 26" 6.5 SAUM that I can get ~3050fps with 147 ELD-M and that is a close to max handload. If you reload, you can obviously get more out of it, but it's pretty darn good where it is.
Once again, I think it's a great value for an off the shelf rifle and I'd be embarrassed to tell you how many high end custom guns I have.
Thanks bud, I sold it but I agree it sure is a great value.
Not to derail, but "one" of the other reasons I sold it was that I have three SAUMs as well.
All running Berger 140 hunting, Remington Brass, H1000, Tula LRM Primers, Omega Cans as follows;
26", 61.5 H1000, 3160 fps
24", 61.5 H1000, 3113 fps
22", 60.9 H1000, 2967 fps
All Labradar Chrono'd
Your 26" SAUM seems really slow, as my above loads are not even pushing it hard, especially the 22", but the accuracy is 1/2 moa easily.
That's with the Hdy 147 ELD-M. It runs the 140 Bergers faster ~3150.
Anyone have any more reviews on accuracy, fit, finish, etc? I have probably 3 more months before my rifle comes so I need something to keep the wait off my mind!
The Seekins rep that called me said I would get the newer Carbon fiber stock model which I’m really happy about that and I’m sure you will as well and if I wasn’t at a noisey jobsite I would’ve ask him a few questions on any other changes but barely could hear at all.
Should have mine Thursday. Was expecting 3-4 months and its only been 3 weeks.
@southerngolfer, any fitting issues or was it just drop in? Also, based on your name, any chance you can get me on for a round at Augusta? Lol.
Also, I wish I could get to play there myself, lol. I played golf in college locally and that name has just stuck with me
That’s sweet congrats ?
thank you. I'm going to use it as a dual purpose gun. hunting and practice. should be well served in both areas
What one did you order? I am coming up on 3 weeks for my hp1 6.5 creed.
The HP 1 in .300WM
Which chambering did you order? I ordered a PH1 in 28N at the end of June.

I’ll say! Nice shooting!
I ordered the ph1 in creedmore
Ordered mine 05/15. Was told on 07/11 “As I’m sure you are aware we were heavily backordered on our Havak line. As a result we had a time frame of around four months from date of purchase. We should be able to get that rifle to you in the next couple of months. We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Thank you and have a great day.” Seekins has always replied to any emails fast. I ordered the Havak PH1 in 300 win mag.
wow, what caliber?
How is this possible? Did you order directly from seekins?
I ordered a pro hp1 in 6.5 creed June 12 and it showed up today. Was expecting a longer wait time.
Was playing with an older Cabela's one in 6mm CM a few hours ago...the bolt is not super smooth but if that improves with use and it's as accurate as everyone says seems like a great value. The pre64 Model 70 Wnchester in the gun gallery was REALLY smooth, almost came home with me!
Ordered mine on the 26th of June, so hopefully in 2 weeks I will get my shipment notice.
My bolt smoothed up in the first 25-50 rounds. It is now very smooth and I am glad I made the purchase.
Good to hear, dang I want one.
Has anyone changed the bolt knob yet? I'd prefer something larger myself.
Havak installed in the KRG bravo. I noticed when I'm dry fire practicing on my barricade, with the 12/6 o'clock lugs, the 6 lug likes to bind up with the feed lips of a AI single stack mag when any kind of pressure of made contact with the bottom of the mag. with my AI AW mag, the mag follower makes contact with the 6 o'clock lug after last round is stripped. I know not an issues but when dry firing, I have no ammo keeping the follower down. what I'm asking, anybody using another brand of Magazine with no feeding issues?
I dropped my Havak in a Bravo and fed 6.5 PRC without issue out of 2 unmodified ARC mags. I did not specifically try putting upward pressure on the mag in a barricade but can test that later and report back. I am able to dry fire from a prone position though with those mags with no issue. I ran this for 125 rounds so far with 100 of those being in a prone ELR club match (not thinking about the mags at all).
Appreciate the feedback. Yes, update me on the upward mag pressure feeding
