One thing is for sure there customer service is the best that I have ever dealt with. Had a PH 2 that developed an issue. They took care of all the shipping and gave me an option of fixing my rifle or replacing it with a new one. Great company and of course I’ll be buying more from seekins
I love hearing that! Going up there with Seekins and Vortex and seeing the way both of those companies take care of their customers and stand behind their products is pretty special.
Seekins is AMAZING! It's not just hype. Seekins knows what they are doing and they are building a quality rifles that will last a lifetime. Being inside their facility exceeded my expectations 10 fold. I really thought they just assembled the rifles and bought parts like most custom gun outfits and other "manufacturers" do now days. I was blown away leaving there knowing they actually engineer everything, make every part, test the specs down to microns, and stand behind the rifles with a lifetime shooter satisfaction guarantee.
Truly the best. I have not met Bryan out of that bunch but Vortex and Seekins are absolutely incredible people and partners. Matty & Glenn at Seekins went out of their way to host us. With their philosophy of making quality precision rifles and taking care of their customers it is easy to see why they are so backordered even while running machines through the night.
Awesome video! I’ve owned an Element for a couple years in 6.5PRC and it’s crazy how well it shoots for being a super light gun and they’re just an hour away from me! Also their team is some of the most helpful people. North Idaho 💪🏻
I have never shot a NRL Hunter match but they look super fun. Start saving up as these rifles are worth every penny and backed for life. The hardest part is deciding the right model. The PH2 is such a great blend of value and function. The Element is so light it would be awesome for backcountry hunts but the PH2 just checks all the boxes for me.
To be fair I did speed up the video by about 15% so it wouldn't be so long. Matty is still super high energy though when you meet him in person. He certainly made for an awesome tour guide as there was never a dull moment and he showed us EVERYTHING including a few products that are coming out in the next year or two that we couldn't include. The whole experience there was mind blowing. Seekins Precision is the real deal!
Great video and Matty is a good guide here. This video nudged me on a bolt gun decision, ordered a Havak Hit Pro. Had a question on boltface & barrel for later swaps, Seekins folks called back with a fast, thorough reply. Controlling the rifle top to bottom on supply chain and QA/QC is a great thing. Handling demand with overnight automation capacity, also great.
Impressive! You should make a Havak 7mm PRC with a 22 or 20 inch barrel. I’d buy it right away! The 7PRC shoots really well out of short barrels, it surprised me! 24-26 inch barrels are just to much with my suppressor.
When I was there they were backordered for months! The local Scheel's store in Colorado Springs is finally starting to have good inventory but they can certainly be tough to get your hands on. Did you ever find one in 6.5 CM?
They are sick and such a perfect backcountry rifle. I will probably end up owning more than one in the near future as the HIT rifles are amazing for bench shooting and situations you don't have to hike in to hunt. The PH2 is the perfect gun for most hunting situations and then the Element is what you want if you plan to hike in deep.
Was this on 2x speed or did you all drink a pot of coffee each? 😂 I have an early Seekins Havak Pro Hunter in 6.5 creed. What a beautiful rifle. It's my pride and joy. Not quite as light as the latest model but we're talking ounces
Definitely sped up a bit as it was such a long video. That does make Matty seem like he just pounded a dozen energy drinks. He is a racecar though and you just gotta keep up!
That's on me. The video was getting super long so I went back in and sped up just about every clip somewhere between 5-15% and then went turbo speed on some of the walking processes where there was either too much noise to hear or nobody was talking. Sorry if it feels like you are watching Mad Max as I know that can end up being a bit disorienting.
Would love to get one of their PH2 rifles in Australia, but it's not possible. Not only do they not have a distributor there, one of the people I dealt with from the company told me they have such a hard time keeping up with demand in the USA that they haven't even tried finding other markets. Frustrating!
That is a huge bummer. Hopefully they can grow to the point where they can get one shipped over to you. I have a buddy bringing his new PH2 over today to mount a scope. Every time I handle a Seekins I am impressed with the quality they deliver.
Here is a super long answer to your simple question. I love that you are doing your homework and if you have a local shop nearby I would encourage you to get your hands on a Seekins. Three years before I visited Seekins Precision I was in a debate between an $800 Bergara B14, an $1,800 Seekins Havak, and a $2,400 Christensen MPR. I went to the shop 4 different times before purchasing the Christensen. I own multiple inexpensive rifles where I ended up wishing I had spent a little extra money to just buy the gun I really wanted. I was hoping this would be a buy once cry once experience where I really ended up with the gun I really loved. Here was the debate with those three guns and the Seekins stock played a part in that process. I loved the action and trigger on all three models and of all the different guns I picked up these were the three that had my attention. -The Bergara was a little too heavy for Colorado backcountry hunts. I loved everything about the gun but the weight and I honestly discounted it a bit because it was sooooo much cheaper than the other two rifles that had my eye. I just thought surely it can't actually compete to the Seekins and Christensen at half or one third the price. So I thought I was possibly going to do what I had done in the past and buy the cheaper rifle but then regret it. Bergara has since released several new models including the MGLite and several guns with new stocks and carbon barrels shaving pounds and ounces. The MGLite is pricey with an MSRP over >$3k. Their Crest rifle in 6.5PRC is unreal and competes accuracy wise with any custom gun out there even with its shorter barrel. - The Seekins - At the store I couldn't get used to the palm swell on the stock. At the time it felt really unfamiliar compared to the Christensen pistol grip or the traditional rifle stock. The real deal breaker at the store though was the shinny silver barrel as I wanted this as a hunting gun and didn't want the chrome finish reflecting the sun and potentially spooking game. I still almost bought the gun knowing I may have to tape the barrel or take it and spend more money to have it cerakoted. The tipping point was the stock though as it felt so different from what I was used to. Now after shooting with some former military snipers and professional shooters they showed me why they love that stock, why we will be seeing more of that type of stock in new rifles coming out from other manufacturers, and how to position your hand on it to maximize accuracy. I don't think the primary complaint is related to a plastic or rubber feel as much as it is the actual shape of the stock. It is still a polymer stock on the PH2 though so you may consider their HIT rifle if you feel like a chassis gun is what you are after. Just be mindful of the weight as you are jumping up to a 12lb bare rifle. -The Christensen MPR - Sleek looking, good action, crisp trigger and you get a chassis gun at a great weight. I spent the money hoping this would be the rifle I would love for a long time. Reality for me is it didn't live up to the hype. Don't get me wrong there is still a lot to love with the gun. It just has not been the tack driver I was hoping it would be. As the barrel heats up my groups start to walk and drift. Typically up and to the left where you it goes from a sub moa gun to a 3 moa gun after 5-8 shots with 30-60 seconds between shots. Good luck trying to zero your rifle quickly with a gun that starts walking like that after a few shots. It has worked fine as a hunting rifle as it's the first shot that counts and my boys have dropped a pig at 270 yards, a bear at just under 400 yards, and a deer at 212 yards with this rifle in a 6.5CM. If I could go back, knowing what I know now about each of those guns, I would have asked the gun shop to order the Seekins with a black barrel as it's just dang near impossible to beat their quality and warranty. With Bergara, I would have had to wait for another year or two for their new guns that would have met the demands of what I was looking for in a rifle at that time. I think had I purchased the heavier Bergara back then I would be happier today with the accuracy and performance of the gun but I would have left the store still thinking about that Christensen wondering if I made the right decision.
@huntleague , thanks so much for all the information. My brother ordered the Havak 7prc with 20inch barrel. I have a Bergara Ridge 270win. I did 2 major things to it. I cerakoted it and had the barrel have down from a 5 to 3.5. It's a tack driver and perfectly balanced now. Weatherproof too. I'm researching the 7PRC and it's a fine cartridge. Shot a 7mm mag for years and love it too. I'll have to check out a Seekins in person. Thanks for all you're insight and have a Merry Christmas.
@@krisshepherd740 Merry Christmas to you as well. Me and one of the guys I hunt with have been talking a lot about the 7PRC as it may be the perfect elk cartridge. I think there is still some work to be done on load development and ammo offerings before that cartridge becomes all that it can be. I am looking at the Bergara Ridge right now for my son. He is still growing so I was debating between that and the HMR or Terrain for the adjustable comb height. I think I am going to go with the Ridge and just order the Mystery Ranch Cheeky Riser to save weight and allow the fit to be customized as he continues to grow. I love what you did with yours and may do the same thing if I don't order it with the carbon cure barrel. My local Scheel's had a Seekins Element in 7PRC on the shelf the other day but I think I am leaning towards the PH2 for that caliber. Too expensive for me just to pull the trigger on spur of the moment but I may regret that as their is a decent wait to get the exact rifle you want right now from Seekins.
@huntleague , My Ridge was very prone to rust in the Oregon rain and I just didn't like how front end heavy it was, so I cerakoted and lightened the barrel. Been a awesome rifle for tge last 5 years. 8 bucks so far with it. Shoots 145gEldx, 140g accubond, 130g CX and 136g terminal ascent all basically the same. .25inch groups at 100.
Have you checked out Stag Arms new hunting rifles? They make left handed rifles and I really like their new bolt guns. I would be pretty bummed too if I was left handed and couldn't buy a Seekins!
might wanna watch what you say about Matty. He will do things for you no other gun maker will do. Same can be said about his team. They have all rights to make their mind up on a situation if it means saving a customer or helping them out of a bad situation. I know first hand what Matty will do. I owe him for life!
I do too. I bought a 338 Winchester and loved it. I didn’t buy the 300 PRC and was disappointed to find I could not shoot any of the heavy 30 caliber projectiles. I called them and they said the 1/10 was more accurate. But it will not shoot the heavy bullets. Disappointed.😩
I have a seekins precision 6.5 CM. Every single chassis I have tried, including the Whiskey3, MPA Comp, MDT LS-XL, I cant get the magazine to lock up. There is something about the action prevention it. Ashame. Cant recommend at all. Rifle is useless unless I want to load and shoot 1 round at a time. Not worth the hassel. Sorry I bought it.
That really doesn't sound like a Seekins issue as I am sure the rifle worked great with the original setup. Seekins sells the HIT rifle too if you are looking for a chassis gun. They may not be willing to modify another companies chassis at their headquarters in Seekins but they do offer a lifetime shooter satisfaction guarantee. Have you contacted them about the issue you are facing to see if they have any suggestions?
To be fair, I did speed up the video generally by about 10-15% so yes it was fast forward. However, Matty does move at the speed of light and you gotta keep up!
Ive picked up watching this video 4 or so times now as I just watch like 10 or so minutes at a time. Every single time I have looked to see if it is on 1.5x speed after starting it…the guy talks SO fast lol
Thanks for watching. I did speed it up a bit just to try and shorten it up a bit but I should have left it and just let the user adjust the playback speed on RUclips if they wanted to speed it up. Matty is awesome and full of energy for sure but not quite as much as this video makes it out to be.
My hunting buddy just got the Element in 7prc. To date I have seen multiple sub 1/2moa groups out to 836 yards with factory 175 ELD-X ammo. Simply amazing. My Bergara is there with hand loads and once fired Lapua cases. You guys are cheating somehow. lol You get what you pay for in this case.
You can't go wrong with Seekins or Bergara! All of the HuntLeague guys that have picked up Seekins rifles absolutely love them. I know it's tough to spend $1,700-3K on a rifle but I think Seekins Precision rifles are an absolute steal when you see all that goes into them and how well crafted they are.
@@huntleague The fact that the Seekins Element shoots as well as is does with factory, non-fire formed brass is a testament to Hornady and Seekins. Good stuff and and shoot straight.
@@huntleague Ar I used dual charging handle. I just really like the spiral fluting on their havic model and 1800 and basically u have a custom rifle. Now i buy tikka rifles and customize them.
Ask Remington 😂 If you take care of it and clean and oil it, will last longer than you. You can use other manufacturers barrels if you shoot one out. A good gunsmith can work on ANY rifle.
It's no different then when a major company goes out of business. If a company no longer exists you have no warranty. But competent gunsmith should be able to service the products.
The guy doing the tour has to be the most unprofessional firearms manufacture spokesman I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. There’s no way I’m giving my money to this company!
Not sure what you are looking for here but this wasn't a sales pitch tour. This was a personal tour given as part of a prize package for the winner of the HuntLeague Outdoorsman of the Year with the 2022 winner Ray and Tucker from Vortex. Matty at Seekins is a former Army Ranger and one of the most energetic and experienced guys in the firearms industry. Go get your hands on a Seekins Rifle and your attitude might shift. Ask anyone in our community what they think about their HIT, Element, PH2, or SB10's. Good luck finding a gas gun that shoots tighter groups. Most rifle manufactures wouldn't even allow inside access to something like this where you might find them receiving boxes of parts from China to assemble for your high end rifle.
Judging a book by its cover is apparent IGNORANCE. It's also ASSUMPTION and as we all learned from Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, "Assumption is the mother of ALL fuck ups".

So cool seeing all the robots doing their thing. Thanks Seekins for giving HuntLeague a look behind the curtain.

I love hearing that! Going up there with Seekins and Vortex and seeing the way both of those companies take care of their customers and stand behind their products is pretty special.
Just bought a Seekins PH2 in .300 PRC. This just solidified what I felt in the store. A quality piece of engineering.
Alright it has been a few months since you picked up the PH2. Have you been able to get much time behind the rifle yet?
I have bought two Seekins in the past six months, an Element and a PH2 and absolutely love them both. I am definitely a believer.
Seekins is AMAZING! It's not just hype. Seekins knows what they are doing and they are building a quality rifles that will last a lifetime.

Started my road on seekins ht in 6.5 prc I'm stoked!

For sure, thanks for making the video! If you ever get a chance to get out to hat creek training you won't be disappointed@@huntleague
Wow!! Impressed. Nice video and outstanding quality rifles. Keep like this guys. Keep doing reliable and super accurate rifles. Thanks.
Awesome video! I’ve owned an Element for a couple years in 6.5PRC and it’s crazy how well it shoots for being a super light gun and they’re just an hour away from me! Also their team is some of the most helpful people. North Idaho 💪🏻
Thanks for sharing your experience. The team and culture there is amazing and you really can't beat Seekins quality!
Im looking at getting into nrl hunter. Just went to the Missouri match last weekend and seen 1. Can i get 1?
I have never shot a NRL Hunter match but they look super fun. Start saving up as these rifles are worth every penny and backed for life. The hardest part is deciding the right model. The PH2 is such a great blend of value and function. The Element is so light it would be awesome for backcountry hunts but the PH2 just checks all the boxes for me.
@@jarednewman9609 my ex had a cutlass... needless to say it was used for target practice
I have 6.5, after watching this, I feel obligated to send BR decaf to the guy giving the tour.

@@huntleaguedude. I'm glad to know it was actually sped up. I thought I was having a stroke.
@@huntleagueI think that’s a bad idea. You should have just cut some stuff out, or let it be long
Great video and Matty is a good guide here. This video nudged me on a bolt gun decision, ordered a Havak Hit Pro. Had a question on boltface & barrel for later swaps, Seekins folks called back with a fast, thorough reply.
Controlling the rifle top to bottom on supply chain and QA/QC is a great thing. Handling demand with overnight automation capacity, also great.
Absolutely love hearing that! Seekins is the real deal!

@@huntleague I see one on eurooptic just saving up some more coin for an optic as well! Hopefully it doesn’t sell out before I can get it
Whew, that dude is AMPPED!!!😁
Too many energy drinks. 😅 I thought maybe they sped up the video 1.5X speed.
@@ValcoBayrunner It is sped up by 15% so you aren't crazy.
Nope he is just intense.
I used to want an element. Now that I watched this I have to have one.
They are sick and such a perfect backcountry rifle. I will probably end up owning more than one in the near future as the HIT rifles are amazing for bench shooting and situations you don't have to hike in to hunt. The PH2 is the perfect gun for most hunting situations and then the Element is what you want if you plan to hike in deep.
I’ll be buying one of these or two or three here very soon.
They are unreal! I can't give a higher recommendation.
Awesome man!!!
This dude is 1000 Horsepower. SP10 will be my next rifle. Gonna cost me 3 grand for the rifle and a 10 grand for a bathroom remodel.
I own one chambered in 300winmag. Love it.

Was thinking they visited Tweakins Precision until I read this....
Just one little bump before the tour 😂, just kidding lol
That is awesome
Would love to get one of their PH2 rifles in Australia, but it's not possible.

The only negative comment ive seen online is the feel of the stock. Is this a rubberized feel or hard plastic?
Here is a super long answer to your simple question.
I love that you are doing your homework and if you have a local shop nearby I would encourage you to get your hands on a Seekins. Three years before I visited Seekins Precision I was in a debate between an $800 Bergara B14, an $1,800 Seekins Havak, and a $2,400 Christensen MPR.

I know it's tough to spend $1,700-3K on a rifle but I think Seekins Precision rifles are an absolute steal when you see all that goes into them and how well crafted they are.
@@huntleague The fact that the Seekins Element shoots as well as is does with factory, non-fire formed brass is a testament to Hornady and Seekins. Good stuff and and shoot straight.
To bad you don’t believe you should make a left handed rifle.
Looking for lefties, have you explored Stag Arms lineup? I think they designed the original lefty AR and they have stayed good to lefties ever since.
@@huntleague Ar I used dual charging handle. I just really like the spiral fluting on their havic model and 1800 and basically u have a custom rifle. Now i buy tikka rifles and customize them.
Just wondering what happens to Seekins customers if Seekins goes out of business. This is the problem with all small firearm manufacturers.
I'm still waiting on savage
@@joshwebb609 to do what.
Ask Remington 😂 If you take care of it and clean and oil it, will last longer than you. You can use other manufacturers barrels if you shoot one out. A good gunsmith can work on ANY rifle.
It's no different then when a major company goes out of business. If a company no longer exists you have no warranty. But competent gunsmith should be able to service the products.
Academic question. You have info that the company is fragile? Does not seem likely to me.
The guy doing the tour has to be the most unprofessional firearms manufacture spokesman I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. There’s no way I’m giving my money to this company!
Not sure what you are looking for here but this wasn't a sales pitch tour. This was a personal tour given as part of a prize package for the winner of the HuntLeague Outdoorsman of the Year with the 2022 winner Ray and Tucker from Vortex.
Matty at Seekins is a former Army Ranger and one of the most energetic and experienced guys in the firearms industry. Go get your hands on a Seekins Rifle and your attitude might shift. Ask anyone in our community what they think about their HIT, Element, PH2, or SB10's. Good luck finding a gas gun that shoots tighter groups.
Most rifle manufactures wouldn't even allow inside access to something like this where you might find them receiving boxes of parts from China to assemble for your high end rifle.
Why was it a pleasure to listen to him then?
I'm not impressed by the apparent ARROGANCE of this owner.
Judging a book by its cover is apparent IGNORANCE. It's also ASSUMPTION and as we all learned from Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, "Assumption is the mother of ALL fuck ups".
