Seekins $-9000 SIC rifle

[stan_wa]

Curious to hear other people‘s thoughts on this in some ways the sick seems innovative having a monolithic body with no stock. It is pretty unique. I guess that helps make a more rigid Center body in eliminates action screws and possible bedding issues. I think what they’re doing with a super module System is interesting although not personally very interesting and the price is obviously crazy at 9000

Saftey is supper cool

The building to easily change out a trigger in theory seems cool, but whose trigger really fails in the middle of a hunt could just sako / tika trigger then it will keep working lol

I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that they would put a carbon barrel on a gun that weighs 15 lb. that just much doesn’t make any sense. Seems to me carbon barrels are just the fad of the day but basically have no point .

Lots of cool ideas on this thing. Seems to be priced based on Mil contract value. The machine work on that action must be pretty intense though. I cant tell if the action/chassis is made of steel or AL. Some issues with element al actions would make it a hard sell if they used a similar design for this and charge $9k. But an all steel chunk would be heavy AF.

I wonder about tolerances of that trigger retention set up. Seems like it has to be somewhat loose in there?

Agree that the carbon barrel on a 15lb gun is dumb.

Watched a video on it, the action is fully steel, the handguard is aluminum. 15lbs is fairly heavy for a rifle on its own so that makes sense. I wonder if they added the CF barrel to mitigate the full steel receiver weight. Either way its definitely not a hunting rifle, in the video Glen confirmed its for a future military contract.

Since its for a military contract im guessing the quick change trigger is so the operator can carry spare triggers in case of failure in combat.

I thought i gathered as much from the Guns America vid in regards to the receiver being steel and it would make sense for the overall weight. Seems like if they need a carbon barrel on the front to reduce weight, its probably pretty ass heavy.

Brilliant design! There's a lot of clever details that went into this thing. An aluminum receivered version built for hunting would give the SIG Cross and Q Fix a run for their money.

Some issues with element al actions would make it a hard se

I am not aware of these known issues. I have had two elements and not had any issues with this still ongoing thing.
