7mm prc

[Isaaccc11]

Looking at getting 7mm prc, really looking at Seekins PH3 havak! Wanted to see if anyone had any experience with it? Or anyone have another rifle brand that they like in that caliber. That shoots sub moa! Trying to stay under 2000. Thanks!

Should be fine choice. None of them are going to shoot sub MOA day in and day out with any large shot count, so don’t expect that realistically. Also depends what ammo you decide to shoot or if you’re going to reload for it to actually cater to what the gun wants.

A number of people have reported issues getting factory ammo that shoots well in their rifle.

For me, I won’t buy any rifle where “cheap ammo” is $50/box, unless I plan to reload for it.

I also have yet to find a good reason to get a 7 PRC instead of a 6.5 PRC. And since I already own a .270… I don’t need that either.

Just spreading the good word.

Seekins are fine rifles as long as it fits into your hopes/dreams/desires. Same for what ever cartridge you decide to shoot.

I have a PH3 in 7 PRC. 26 inch barrel. Barnes LRX factory ammo shoots sub MOA for me. Also shot steel from 200 out to 500 with first shot impacts each time. I’ve been pleased with it. Recoil is very manageable.

Have you tried any other ammo? Any concerns with it?

I have not since I’m a big fan of Barnes and have used them pretty much exclusively in other rifles. No concerns. Bolt is slick. 60 degree throw is awesome. Extraction is effortless. On the heavy side but that’s good and bad depending on how you look at it. Good for recoil. Not so good for backcountry type hunts.

Sako has the 7PRC in the new Finnlight and so far I’m very impressed with accuracy and then new stock design is actually pretty solid. More of a vertical grip, flat forend, and factory QDs, plus the mags are so good in the Sakos. The new ejectors really throw brass (not sure I love that, but I didn’t have the 85 issues that some had).

Have you looked into a 6 UM???


My mom took Tylenol when she was pregnant with me, but only when she was hung over

My son in law shoots a new X-Bolt in 7PRC, it has done very well for him. Accurate rifle.

Pretty simple-

Pick one with Min of 1-8 twist
Then look at which ever you can cut barrel down to 18” and thread 5/8

Then get load work up pack from unknown or copper creek. Figure it out and then order 200rds.

Easy peasy you are welcome
