My First New Caliber In A Long Time (7mm PRC)

[curraheeguns]

Just got this beautiful Seekins Havak Element in 7mm PRC yesterday. Beautiful and stupid light gun. Can't wait to top it off with rings and a scope and deep dive into loading a new to me caliber. This will be an Elk/Deer/Bear gun out to 600 yards.

Anyone else playing around with 7mm PRC?

Seekins? Very nice.

Do you like that bolt handle? Those always bite me but I rarely wear gloves and have soft hands, much prefer round,

I haven't had it in the field yet. I am hoping for great things. They are like hens teeth trying to find one.

Always good to have a new rifle. I confess I never heard of the 7mm PRC. I will have to do some research.

It's pretty new. It is getting super popular out West for Elk and other big game.

That is one sexy rifle. Love the fluting of the barrel and the bolt! Can't wait to see how you top it off.

I think I have decided on a Leupold VX-6HD with CDS. Just ordered some Seekins low rings and snagged 3 boxes of hard to come by Hornady Hunter 7PRC ammo this AM.

Rings and scope are in! I even scored three boxes of factory Hornady Precision Hunter to help build up my brass numbers. I'm ready to get this puppy together and work on load development. My first trip is coming at the end of May. Black Bear in Montana's Bitteroot Mountains.
