Seekins Precision just released a new lightweight mountain hunting rifle called the Havak Element. Specs state that it is 5.5 pounds and include a new 7075 billet aluminum action body and lightweight mountain hunter profile 21" barrel. Also an integrated bubble level. Carbon fiber stock and...
Horrible news. Thoughts and prayers to his family. He seemed to have so much going for him, wonderful wife and children, amazing innovative company with record growth, incredible/epic hunting trips one after another, friends...
Just goes to show you that you really have no idea what other people...
I was interviewed by AK Troopers over the phone but I did not have any valuable information for them to help their case. I never saw any violations. I had heard of several things by other hunters and guides during and after the hunt. He had multiple felony counts against him. He did plead...
I got some range time with mine yesterday chambered in 6mmCreed and it is very impressive. I was just running some Hornady Precision Hunter factory and printed 2 tiny 4 shot groups. It is my new favorite deer gun.
I agree with you 100% Justin. I guess they are comparing a typical round that is used in each of the two different chamberings and not the exact same projectile in each of the two chamberings.
Necking down a .243 and then blow it out with the AI treatment would be a lot of fun I guess... and...
The 6.5 Creedmoor has been a boon for the wildcatting community.
I have a new 6Creedmoor that I need to get working on load development as soon as the weather breaks. The 22 CM looks interesting for varmits and little to no recoil. The rifles/barrels are made with long heavy bullets with...
**My opinion** (lets let some more experienced reloaders confirm this!)
It looks to me like the die is resizing the brass from the neck down the body and is not doing any work below the "mark" that you see just above the base of the brass. This is normal and you are just not used to seeing...
I like the idea of Tyvek ground sheet with one side long enough to wrap over you and some cordage or bungees to keep it around you all night. Or attach a zipper or snaps to keep it from falling off. Simple and lightweight.
Yep. Call me a snob but I LOVE Lapua brass. My Havak rifle is in 6Creed and I will be using Lapua 6.5Creed brass because I dont want to mess with the Hornady brass unless I absolutely must.
I like the looks of the 6.5PRC as well... But I have a 6.5x284 already and it shoots really well so I don't want to get another that is just too similar. I need to work up my new Havak in 6creed right now so I will have my hands full for the immediate future. Also I hesitate on the brass for...
1200y plus? Then TRACKING period.
When you give it 35.5 MOA or 43 MOA you need to know that is exactly what you got. All of the other things are a very distant second place. Yes magnification and tube diameter and FOV matter... but they matter much much less than you getting exactly the...
Correct. You do not need to have a Custom Turret printed or laser etched. I just use the standard MOA turrets on my NF scopes and the G7 laser works excellent. Only issue that I have is the limitation on the ballistic solution is 1399yards. It will range farther and show the distance to the...
The rifle, scope and caliber are all well capable of stretching past 500y.
The scope will have plenty of adjustment for a 100y or 200y zero with either the 0 MOA or 20 MOA rail. It is your choice and both will work.
If you use a 20 MOA rail you will have the opportunity in the future to have...
Yes I think it is pretty cool concept and looks to be executed well. The top gel piece is replaceable after lots of accidental impacts. The main unit is hiding safe behind the AR plate.
I however just spray paint the entire steel plate white and put a red circle in the center and that is good...
My 300WinMag shoots 180g AccuBonds remarkably well. You may find that your rifle shoots one grain weight much better than another. I like heavy for caliber bullets for several different reasons.
Have you asked your guide what he thinks is best? I would guess he is planning on carrying bear...
