Seekins Chassis now available

[hardincobucks]

I just held one of the element hunters at Scheels today - the chassis is very nice. Folding mechanism is definitely robust and I like it a lot. Grip felt fine, but with the trigger lock on there, it's hard to get a real good feel for it.

I certainly don't "need" one, but with a sheep hunt coming up in August, I'm weighing my options. I have a Gunwerks Magnus 7 SAUM that is just a few ounces shy of 10 lbs scoped. I need to pull the stock off and weigh it to see how it compares to this chassis. Besides the weight, the ability to fold it and have a much more compact rifle is really appealing.

My local Scheels had the standalone chassis for sale without trigger locks on them. Feels great without the trigger lock. I noticed they were like $50 cheaper then seekins website too

Would love to know of you have the recoil lug fitment issue somebody else reported earlier in the thread.

That was me who reported that.

What’s the trick to getting the 3 rd mdt to release easier. I had to pull the bolt back and push down from the inside to get it started.

On my short action, I just need to not be a bitch about pushing the button. Drops right out.

Could u take a pic of how the rear action tang sits in the seekins chassis ? I'm wondering if it's captured or just rests on top like the hnt26.

It doesn't nestle into the chassis. It sits on top.

I got one from eBay for a 308 stock tikka t3x lite blued steel, factory stock feels pretty snug on it with no play without action screws installed, takes a bit of force to pull the stock off, no wiggle whatsoever.

Selina has play with respect to recoil lug and Is this a problem with their recoil lug being thinner than the one that’s stock.
Is this normal for other tikka owners?

From their website I don’t see any notes on figment being “loose”. Sorry if this is a silly question. Should I reach out to seekins for a return, eBay seller has no returns. Paid a 1150 and i think i made a poor choice. Should have just got a cz trail or an sig trail.

Important Fitment Notes:

• AW Magazines: Not compatible.
• Recoil Lug: The chassis recoil lug slot is ¼”. Some custom clone actions may have a larger recoil lug that will not fit this chassis.
