Tikka vs Seekins 7 PRC - build help

[Backcast88]

I would go the Seekins route. I've had tikka rifles and they are usually shooters and have a good trigger. But the Seekins Havak Element is a whole different animal. My buddy has one in 6.5 PRC. I borrowed it to cull a couple deer at the end of last season and its super lightweight and shoots lights out.


I liked it so much I picked up a regular Havak PH2 in 6.5 PRC and it doesn't disappoint either.

I just put together a 7PRC on a Tikka action with the Stocky's VG Carbon and added my own sponge paint to it. Came out very nice and the Proof barrels all seem to hammer. 22" barrel and LRI fluted bolt. Weighs 6lbs 6oz as it sits. Will order a Vortex Viper HD in 3-15x44 and give that new scope a try. Likely adding a Silencerco Scythe to keep it pretty light. Should have an elk and muley Colorado tag for the fall.
