You like that?? We got together with Glen at Seekins when we had some need for 2 375's internally.. This was the brain child.
I guess Seekins is going to continue production, It was originally going to be a special order of 12 rifles, I sold the first available 10 on AfricaHunting.com
I have more coming, If anybody would like one

Thanks!
Jake

Hey guys,
I'm starting to get Ph3's in just about every day, Elements and Element Hunters are slowly rolling in too. Backorders / Preorders are being fulfilled daily, we DO NOT prioritize paid in full orders over orders w/ 25% deposits, Rifles are committed on a first come first serve basis
Less popular models are available on the shelf ( Currently 22" 300 PRC's and 22" 300 wm - Both woodland shadow )

Let me know if you guys have any problems or questions
( I am not super active on this forum at the moment, Please forgive any delay in response to PM )

Do you know the final weights on the element and element hunter? I haven't seen it posted anywhere.

quoted at .5lb heavier than the first gen, I'll ask my rep about the hunters.
I have a 22" 7prc element on the rack right now, I'll weigh it when I go into the shop tomorrow morning & post results.

Thanks!
Jake

Got to hold mine today for 5 minutes before it went to California jail for 10 days. Thanks @EuroOptic for the quick turnaround, this 22" 7prc woodland was ordered in early April and I was not confident I'd see it until August. Getting the email last week was a nice and unexpected surprise.

Couple observations:
-Other commenters are spot on. Bolt is incredibly smooth. Action feels good and not too stiff, a nice middle ground between a Tikka and a Savage. Love the 60 throw. LOP is freakin short, but then again I'm tall so spacers are going to be a must for anyone 6ft tall+.
-Was worried about palm swell. It's definitely pronounced, but I think Seekins designed it well and it felt good. Again, very short LOP but felt good shouldered otherwise.
-Much much lighter than I expected. Idk maybe I'm out of touch with what 7lbs is. Feels like the perfect mountain gun with how light and compact it is.
-Trigger - I have triggertechs, so this was no surprise. Good clean break, going to keep this stock because I'm going to be rucking this gun around. If this were a bench gun I'd probably replace with diamond.
-Stock is pretty solid, it's no Manners but it's a good balance of weight and sturdiness
-Magazine: This one was a bit of a yikes for me. Not a fan of the magazine and the eject mechanism. I had a hard time getting it out with one hand, It's insanely snug in the rifle. Idk, maybe I just need practice and to break it in. I also have a spare MDT AICS mag I'm going to try when I take it home.

Overall very happy, excited to see this thing throw some lead.

Do you have a weight on the element hunter long action? And did I understand you've seen some come in already?

So the new Element is ~10 oz heavier than the Tikka in 7PRC with the same 22” threaded barrel? And they both come in a plastic stock? Hate to be that guy buuuut….

Do the ones with the carbon mags even accept AI pattern mags? I didn't think they did.

7 lb rifles feel light until you put rings, a 25 ounce scope, and a 10+ ounce can on them (not an issue in CA).

I believe you can use AICS mags, I know the PH2 you could and it doesn't seem like they changed the bottom metal. I'll be able to tell you for sure in a week.

Went by Scheels in Meridian, Idaho yesterday to buy primers and noticed at least one PH3 in stock - the NRL model.

I thought the bottom metal was different for the long action magnums and 6.5 PRC than the ones that come with AI pattern mags. I.E. 6.5 creedmoor or 308 comes with AI pattern mags and a different bottom metal than the 6.5 PRC with a carbon mag accepting over 3.0" COAL.

Ah good point, now you have me uncertain. To be honest, most of my information is 2nd hand and it's possible most of what I was reading pertained to SA. I know there is a spacer installed in some of them that allows the switch between AICS and Seekins mags. It doesn't help that there isn't a ton of info on the Seekins Website.

I might stop by the store tomorrow to see if I can pop in the 7prc aics mag.

Took my rifle home today. You were right, the MDT AICS 7 PRC mags will not fit, not even close. You'd need some sort of shim to make it work.

Finally got my 300wm ph3 sighted in for 300yds last weekend. This was the first group with 200gr terminal ascent. We didnt shoot a whole bunch, it felt like 111° out and there was a 10mph head wind that cooled things off a little. My buddy shot a 2rd group that you could cover with a quarter. I had my dd sti and am excited for the rxd30ti I have on order for it.
