My second Seekins rifle that has issues

Definitely not. Three PH3s/Element M3s in my circle.. All three function flawlessly, and outshoot any Tikka in our circle out of the box. And I’m a Tikka guy generally so I don’t say that lightly. The recent Seekins are about as good of value out there.

Perhaps we are outliers but I don’t think so. Glen posted on the Seekins Facebook page reflecting on year end metrics and 2026 goals around new years. He posted some stats around warranty rates. I can’t remember the specifics but the warranty rate moved materially lower moving from the PH2 / M2 to the PH3 / M3

Wonder if data is skewed due to the ph3/m3 models not being in customers hands for long?

I felt one up in my LGS and it felt really nice but I saw issues with light primer strikes?

There are reports of the same on this forum.

Light bolt lift on a 60 degree action means there is a good chance the firing pin isn't falling with much energy.

After reading this and a few other posts I think I wont be getting a seekins then.
Thanks for your insights folks.

If I had a “do over”, I would not have bought the Element M3 I have. I love the PH2 and I shoot it quite often. I’m not liking the new Element or the new level of customer service I’m seeing.

That’s how I felt about my element, I didn’t hate it but it was hard for me to see the value in it. People talk a lot about the stocks but it’s just a plastic stock, there are no options for a chassis for the gun. They aren’t bad guns but for the price of an element you could do better. I think the ph2/3 for under 2k is a decent gun but my element was very disappointing. It shot well but it didn’t fit me well and there was no after market support. It also had a few issues that I needed to contact Seekins for.

Someone posted the video (above) of the light firing pin strike on the Seekins Facebook page. Glen Seekins replied as follows last week:
