    Seekins PH2 Weight

    Here are the weights for the above rifle. Rifle and scope - 8lbs 7.5 oz Rifle, scope and bipod - 9lbs 6 oz Not what some would call a lightweight setup, however it carries, balances and shoots so nice. I have changed from carrying it with a sling to a gunbearer on my right side of my pack. I...

    Seekins PH2 Weight

    I can check weight when I get home in the morning. I have a PH2 in .308, no brake, VX-5 3-15x44 in Seekins rings, with a Harris bipod. I have weighed it in the past I just don't remember offhand what it was.

    Rifle Setup: Christensen Ridgeline vs. Seekins PH2

    While highly personal, the PH2 fit me so better than the Christiansen. I have only put about 60 rounds down mine so far (308). But I really like it. The action has gotten very slick and it feeds anything I feed it without issue. So far it's moa or better. Going to begin load development shortly...

    Warne Mtn Tech vs Seekins Precision Rings

    I have both Seekins and Warne. I have never had an issue with my Warnes over the last 10 years. I just put a set of Seekins on my new rifle. I love them so far. Great clamping on the tube with out being over torqued. 20 inch pounds wet. I really like the fact that they use T-25 screws instead of...

    Ring Height Question - Seekins Havak

    Gentlemen I wondering if anyone has some insight to ring height on Seekins rifles. My wife and kids got me a new PH2 in .308 for Christmas. I have a Leupold VX5 3-15 x 44 inbound for it. I know there are lots of opinions on scopes, but this is what I have decided to put on it. Seekins is...

    LVPO on guide gun

    I have a Burris RT-6 on a rifle. It has been a great scope. Really large field of view on low power. Almost as good as a dedicated red dot. Enough mag to get to 300 yards without problems. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another for an all purpose rifle or a need like you have. Sent from my SM-S906U...

    What % of your daughters hunt???

    Both my daughters had shown interest over the last few years. They are now 15 and 13. I started them off shooting Red Rider bb guns when they were little. Also ran a youth archery program in the summers at church. All the kids loved it. As they got older we transitioned into 22's and then .223...

    Meat Grinder

    I have a #22, 1hp. It is an older cabelas model. Had some additional features that others didn't at the time. It runs very cool and quiet for its size. It' more that I need, but when we grind, we do multiple animals at a time. It really takes two guys to feed it with how fast it grinds. I just...

    Meat aging. Promise, this is a different question.

    The longest I have hung antelope is 5 days. By that time there is a definite difference in the flavor and texture, both for the good. Schedule and Temps usually determine how long the initial hang is to age the meat. I suppose you could freeze and thaw, however that is going to drastically...

    Taking your kids hunting

    I am leaving with my two girls on Wednesday to antelope hunt in WY. They are 15 and 12. They both have tags, and are excited to go. We have been practicing shooting and shot placement, booth shoot just over 1 inch groups at 100 yards. I gave them realistic expectations. It will be cold, windy...

    2022 Alligator Season

    We run it through a cubber after a good cleaning. Cut it small, season, saute in butter and use it as a base for a white Chilli, comes out super tender and different than fried. Where you hunt the gators makes a big difference in how they taste, in their main diet and food sources varies. IMO it...

    308 factory ammo for elk not named Nosler?

    My model 70 .308 loves Federal Fusion 150's. Consistently shoots under .75 moa with them and my best of .58 moa. This is all through feather weight barrel too. It also likes Winchester PowerPoint, but not core locks for what ever reason. Lots of bang flop with both of these bullets for me. Go...

    2022 Alligator Season

    I didn't draw this year, but two guys at work did and my BIL. So far 10' and a 9'6". Not to bad. Heat and lots of rain are making all the difference this week. We always use a combination of baiting after the sun sets and throwing snatch hooks during daylight. Here's a 10'8" from past season...

    FLying with guns on southwest

    I fly SW a couple of times a year with a Pelican 1750 and have never had an issue. I do make sure it's under 50 pounds though. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Mystery Ranch Metcalf as a carry on?

    I have a sawtooth 35 which is a bit smaller I think. I have packed it to the gills and carried it on Southwest multiple times. I do take the waist belt halfway apart and run it around the back of the pack, keeps the bulk down. I haven't had any issues and have never been asked to gate check it...
