Talk me out of it. New rifle decision.

[DAOutfitters208]

I have my mind set on a Seekins PH2. I am on the fence on a 300 prc or the 300 win mag. I have reloading components to last my lifetime for the 300 win mag, but the prc just checks all the boxes for me. I only have the 300 win mag components because I have a few rifles chambered in that caliber. They are back ups, but I felt it necessary to stock up. The fiscal choice is a 300 win mag, but if I’m spending the money on my dream rifle I feel I should get the caliber want as well.

Get the prc

Remember, no matter how many you buy, there will always be another dream rifle to purchase/ save for/spend on.

In my opinion they are another overpriced Remington clone bolt action rifle. In that price range you’d be way better off looking at Sakos. In particular, the new Sako 90 Quest rifle is wonderful to shoot and is a much more reliable and repeatable rifle.

Seekins make great rifles for the price! I picked up a horizon venatic that shoots great. I would go with a 7PRC over the 300 PRC though.

300 PRC. You only need brass and dies. Not a huge expense to get rid of that belt

 

[Soj51hopeful]

Get exactly what you want and don’t let anyone talk you out of it. Try a .300 prc.

I have owned a few Seekins. IMHO, they are very good rifles at a niche price.

The PH2 is in a pretty sweet spot. A bit more than some of the stock offerings from major manufacturer's, but a good deal less than a full custom route. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up another one.

As far as caliber, sure a PRC is the sexy kid on the block, but there is nothing wrong with the WM.

I am the last guy to talk anyone out of a new rifle!

Have you owned a Seekins?

I was given one to try when they first released. Would not own one with my own money. Have you owned a Seekins?

Asking Rokslide to talk you out of a gun is like asking Hunter Biden to talk you out of scoring from a dealer.

Fine I’ll bite, why the 7prc?

Less recoil (easier to shot accurately), similar effective range.

I own one and youd be hard pressed to beat it for the an off the shelf rifle in the price range but haters gonna hate!!!

 

[bmart2622]

Realistically, what will the PRC do that the WM wont? Or....if you just want a PRC then get it....youre the one paying for it so your opinion is the only one that matters

 

[TaperPin]

I also picked up a 300 PRC this past year and good brass is readily available and there seems to be dies everywhere. A neat cartridge.

 

[WillyD]

Both are great. 300 win mag gets my vote.

 

[littlebigtine]

Fine I’ll bite, why the 7prc?

Because it shoots an absolute hammer 175 eldx/180 eldm

 

[littlebigtine]

The seekins shoot lights out but the action cycle leaves a bit to be desired in that price range. I’d buy a tikka and customize it

“Hard pressed to beat it” in what regard?

Man I always tell people this but go with what you want. Yes it’s smart to be economical, but I promise that you will have a better time getting what you want.

My dream rifle is a .270 Super Grade Model 70. It’s wood, heavy, and has blued steel; traits that many on Rokslide would tell you aren’t efficient. BUT it’s what I want. Sounds like you want a 300 PRC and brother, go for that!! Life is too short to pass up on these things!
