    You really NEED to shoot some Seekins bolt guns. I sell guns PT and have shot all of the guns mentioned except the Fierce to this point. All Seekins I have shot to this point are legitimate .75 moa or better at 200m (the range we use for testing). Timney Elite Hunter triggers (set at 2.5 lbs from the factory), great quality barrels, absolute satisfaction accuracy guarantee (as well as complete warranty for ANYTHING on the rifle forever). I don't get the stocks feeling "cheap" at all. They are carbon composite, great palm swell and pretty stiff. Bonuses are 1) They build everything but the trigger in house 2) Everyone at Seekins is passionate about what they do and you actually get a person on the phone when you call. Customer service/support in this business is incredibly important and there is no other manufacturer I have dealt with on the same level. There are a couple of other manufacturers in the same price range that are popular (you KNOW who I'm talking about) that are HORRIBLE. For reference, there is not a single one of the salesmen in our shop (+-20) that doesn't own at least 1 Seekins rifle. I am currently waiting on my PH2.

    I actually picked up a seekins this last December due to the salesman experience with his. Straight out of the box with shots 8-12 he had a group with less than a .2 of an inch spread. Even the largest groups were less than .5 using a 6.5 prc. Mine is super light (comparing to my old sendero) and looks to be fitted really well. Unfortunately I was impatient and picked up a 7 rem instead of the PRC but that'll likely be changed in the future. Btw their muzzle brakes are aggressive for lack of a better word. Update: Got mine flipped over to a 7 PRC and it shoots lights out and fits like a dream. I can not say enough good things about seekins.

    @backfire First, I want to say that I've spent a ton of time over the last 3 weeks (a little time over the last year) researching longer range hunting rifles, and you have become my favorite source of information! Keep up the great work! While growing up in Western NY, I could only hunt with a shotgun, so limited experience with rifles. I have had a 270 that I use for deer in NC, but am looking for a "do it all" gun for larger game in retirement (Elk, Moose, ...). I love what I'm seeing about the 7mm PRC, and have narrowed it down to that caliber. I love the look and initial reviews of the Bergara, and wondering if you have considered updating (or a follow-on video) of the bet 7mm PRC now that some other manufactures have since released a 7 PRC offering. Am narrowing down on the Bergara b-14 HMR in either the Wilderness or Carbon Wilderness (just not sure the extra $400 is worth it for someone hunting and not shooting competition). Also love the concept of the Burris Eliminator IV to help this older guy who hasn't grown up calculating DOP. Still researching the optics, but would love your take on where the Bergara HMR Wilderness would fall in your list (if at all).

    The Ruger 7mm PRC as well at the 6.5 prc have loading issues because of feed ramp angles. Too slow or too fast it wont load. The magazine are fine, it is just the metal feed ramp wont hold the rounds high enough. Also people at Magpul are aware of the issue for the 6.5prc as their stock and mag will not fix the feed ramp issue. The magazine on the go wild is great and you can see the upgrades on it. Feeding is not magazine related.

    I've said it several times: the value proposition for a Ruger American Go Wild is hard to beat. The stocks really are the weak point (but can be enhanced somewhat). But in good news, all but the .243, 6.5CM, 25-06, and 30-06 have upgraded magazines (my .308 has NEVER had a misfeed with the AICS mag). If you hunt in anything but dry climates, you'll appreciate Cerakote. And the muzzle brake is effective. Worth the extra $150 over the Standard.

    Yep, the Ruger "go wild" in 7prc in the MDT oryx chassis eliminates 2 issues with one solution, it gives you a MUCH better stock/chassis system AND let's you use AICS mags. The only downside (or upside depending) is you've also made it a little heavier, good for shooting at the range, not so great for carrying long distance. *Edit, I apologize, I misspoke, the MDT oryx chassis isn't available for a Ruger long action (I could have sworn it was) it IS available for a Mossberg Patriot long action, but not the Ruger. Boyd's does offer stocks for the Ruger American long action, so that's something.

My first hand experience with service was the same. I needed a new trigger because it slam fired and it took me weeks to get someone on the phone. I did get a new trigger no thanks to John and his do nothing attitude. Good luck with yours.

    Something to note about the carbon fiber barreled options is that they are NOT heat friendly. They're not dangerous or anything, but they exhibit much worse groupings as they heat up. This makes them better for hunting because you're not often taking multiple shots in relatively quick succession, but they're not optimal for competition or range use. They can certainly shoot very good groups, but they struggle much more than a good steel barrel as they heat up. After doing my research and really soul searching regarding what type of shooting I'd be doing most often I settled on steel barrels for everything for me personally (I'm much more likely to shoot long range than I am to go hiking deep in the woods because I have a 1000yd range on my property) I'll take the extra weight for greater consistency over ultimate portability. Not saying carbon fiber barrels are bad at all, but they're not perfect in every scenario.

Tactibros (as I like to call them) only want to talk about specific things, and long range channels generally have lackluster review content. If you want a review on a specific scope (or hell, even a specific brand) most channels don't branch out much, so you kind of get stuck in an endless loop of the same reviews of the same optics. Backfire is a breath of fresh air in that regard. His content reaches a pretty wide audience and it's generally good content.

The price does start to get up there, but still significantly cheaper than the other options that have a barrel and accuracy of that caliber (no pun intended).

    You should definitely take a second look at seekins. Sure I can understand that you don’t like the stock. I was between the waypoint and the element. Waypoint initially felt more comfortable but after a day on the element, it was a no brainer. Seekins just shoot lights out, and are incredible for their price range. And if you want something more prs style look at the HIT. Everything you want in a prs rifle for 2k along with seekins guaranty. Pretty hard to beat in my opinion. Was also looking at a fierce but we’re too heavy for me even in the carbon stock and carbon barrel. My element is a 6.5 prc with VX5 3-15, ti brake. Total weight is 7lbs even and kicks like a 243

Hope to see a Bergara and Tikka, not interested in rediculously light given the power of the cartridge to tame. Great subject and observations but a Fierce with the add ons is simply astronomous for most. An X Bolt with a modified replacement trigger or amercian with a replacement magpul stock? now interested. or the 110 with that barrel.

I like the trigger, and the mechanical ejector. I do not like how brass flies with some of the other spring loaded plunger ejectors. Would you recommend I just pick up a Sako 85 in .300 Win or 7mm Rem Mag, have a gunsmith re-barrel to 7PRC? I can always keep or sell the factory barrel. I just don't know I will be happy with the X-Bolt magazine and ejection. And by the sound of it, I have to replace the trigger anyway. Any thoughts?

    What brand and size mags have you found work best for the 7PRC? I purchased some MDT 300 Winmag mags that were recommended by MDT in a 3.850 COAL. I just wanted to see if you had any differing experience. I found the lips on the MDT mag to hit the neck of the cartridge when unloading the rounds. My rifle which is a XLR 4.0 magnesium chassis with Zermatt Origin Action and 22" Proof barrel is not assembled yet and just wanted to make sure I purchased the best feeding mags. Thanks for your help!

    The Savage 110 doesn't have a magazine issue, it has an issue with the extractor & ejector. You can buy an upgrade kit from Kinney's for 30 bucks and it really helps with ejection. The 110's are awesome if you plan on building something out. You can get a 110 with a scope for 800 (CAD). Put the scope on a rimfire or sell it, and upgrade the scope and stock.

    I think there are precious few platforms this cartridge makes sense in. The 7mm PRC was designed to optimize a standard long action, and so my first criteria for rifles that really make sense with the cartridge is that it be a standard long action. And there just isn't a lot of these actions available on the market. The push feed bolt actions were mostly designed as a cheaper response to the exquisite but expensive controlled round feed Winchester Model 70 and other sporterized Mauser based actions. To cut down on machining costs, manufactures skipped the standard length long action and went straight to the magnum length long action. So if you have a Remington M700 LA or any of its derivatives like Bergera, a Savage M110, a Browning A-bolt or X-bolt, you don't have a standard length long action. You have a magnum length long action. Plenty of standard length cartridges have been chambered in these magnum length actions over the years, but the 7mm PRC is uniquely unsuited for this. Most of your traditional standard long action cartridges, like the .30-06 and its derivatives, and the standard length belted magnums like the 7mm Rem Mag and .300 Win, all have case lengths of 2.5 inches or so. So these cartridges can be loaded longer than SAAMI spec to better fill out the extra length in the magazine. This allows you to get the right seating depth for best accuracy and frees up space in the case for powder allowing optimal velocities. The 7mm PRC has a case length of 2.28 inches. This allows it to use really long VLD bullets in a standard long action without intruding on case capacity. However, it means that even the longest bullets can now not be seated out to fill a magnum length action. A magnum length action can take cartridges lengths of at least 3.6 inches, and depending on your magazine box, often significantly longer. A Wyatts extended box will allow you to seat a 195 gr Berger to over 3.8 inches in a .28 Nosler or a 7mm Rem Mag. But with the 2.28 inch case length, the 7mm PRC is designed to take these bullets out to a cartridge length of 3.34 inches, and you really can't stretch them too much farther than that. As a result, I don't think any magnum length action makes a lot of sense for the 7mm PRC. You really have to look to find an actual standard long action. Something like a Tikka. Or an expensive custom action. There is just better options available if you're looking to optimize performance from a more readily available magnum length action, like a Savage or Remington M700.
