My second Seekins rifle that has issues

[Durable Gun]

Another update on the new rifles. 100m. I will try seating depth changes to tighten some of these up. Will also confirm the loads at 300m.

Hoping my ph3 shoots because I have had a few issues with it and haven't even made it to the range. First the carbon mag contacts the bolt and makes a yucky sound when you cycle the bolt. Seekins sent me a free AICS mag that wouldn't feed properly as a replacement for the carbon mag. Lucky for me MDT polymer mags are working. Seekins probably thinks I am the customer from hell as I have asked a ton of questions...they ignored me several times on the magazine issues but persistence pays off.

I mounted a nightforce SHV today and got to looking at the rifle in better light. I found that the bolt release button was covered with rust. This rifle has never been fired and has lived in the safe with several other rifles that have no rust. Can't imagine what will happen when I hunt it in the rain. Too bad tikka won't do a 6CM.
