Seekins Chassis now available

[wind gypsy]

Have they come out with a bag rider for that dumb buttstock design yet?

Bump.

 

[Marcjr47]

Happen to try this MDT magazine yet?

It was delivered today, I’ll probably try it tomorrow. The seekins mag shipped today also, so I’ll be trying them both

Annex Sidekick Arca's came in. They use standard 10-24 countersunk bolts for the MLok hardware, so it was easy to find longer hardware. Got one installed up front with the provided hardware and one installed in the threaded slot. The threaded holes lined up perfectly. They have MLok slot indexing protrusions, so they self center unlike the SRS rails.

My MTN Gear bipod is perfect for this setup. The sideways arca makes the bipod setup extremely slender.

In general, it's a little awkward to work the Arca clamps, but it's not impossible. I'm very happy with this. Extremely compact. Can barely feel it.

That an MDT poly mag? How’d it work

Doesn’t look like a tikka but I could be wrong.

Chassis came in today -

Overall fit and finish is superb, Seekins killed it with this.

Folding mechanism IS stout but why wouldn’t you want it to be? I’ll take a stout fold vs an XLR flopping like overcooked spaghetti.

Barrel channel will NOT fit my 22cm OMR barrel without opening it up. It will seat and torque but is not free floated through the forward half of the forend. Not a big deal, a 1” socket and some sandpaper will open it up with uniformity.

Weight is right at 36oz with the heavy ahh ergo grip, with an XLR or other 1ish oz grip you’ll be at 32ish. Same as my Rokstock came out to be

Finding a solution for the mag will be the interesting part of this chassis. I wish they had manufactured a carbon option for the tikka inlets, but to be honest we’re lucky they made them for tikkas in general.

Any questions I can answer for an itching mind?

Damn that looks good. I'm losing the willpower to resist.

Confident with a file you can make plastic work.

Modified Hawkins mag may be as good as it gets unless they eventually work a CF solution.

 

[coryp]

Can anyone confirm this would work with an original element, not the m3?

I think when you go on the website to order it there is a drop down bar and you can select what gun your putting on it.

Do you have an MDT poly mag to try

 

[_MountainBum]

Yeah, sounding like the case. Going to wait another week and see if anything develops. Then will order a few options to test/modify.

I do not, I will and up buying one soon to test.

I wouldn’t count on a CF mag. I’ve talked to several people at Seekins and they don’t even like their CF R700 mags. One employee implied they’d be moving away from them all together moving forward.

 

[Escalante11]

Bump.

Should be hitting the website any day for order. You can see it on their recent instagram video. It’s attached to the Element Hunter they are holding in the video

 

[_MountainBum]

Borrowed a Seekins SA carbon mag and tested with my 22cm. Not sure what everyone is freaking out about with the carbon mags, they seem to work fine.

Edit: updated video to show 3 round feed from mag

Confirm that’s the CF AICS mags or the havak CF mags?

I wouldn’t say anyone was freakin out….just disappointed that Seekins said they wouldn’t work on a tikka. Glad they appear to!

Good stuff though.

It’s the short action AICS mag

Apparently it is the PRC mag and long action mag that will NOT work. If I had a long action hunter chassis I’d try, but for the purposes of my 22cm these work great.

Confirmed! MDT 3rd mag fits! This is a .308 and no mods needed!
