Beautiful rig. We had a range day with Seekins last spring prior to us opening. We shot every platform they have and EVERY rifle was outstanding. Congratulations on a great set up!!!

What would we do with all of our money if we didn't have friends who show us all these things we really shouldn't be expected to live without...

Excellent rifle! Great choice of ammo to feed it also. I bet it shoots well and kills will be plentiful even with “target” bullets

Maybe the Element version, with a S&B on top? and seekins rings? Maybe in 6.5PRC?

After having a 5ish pound rifle (Kimber Mountain Ascent), I decided it was a touch light for my tastes. The extra pound is about perfect for me. I feel like I am a decent marksman, but shooting those real light buggers is not very forgiving…
I kicked around the PRC, but felt like then I would need a reloading setup, and I am not quite ready for that yet…

Is your Christmas present going to have PRC stamped on the barrel? I am looking forward to see what you find under the tree.

SO I decided the Medium Mark 4 rings need to go, but I wanted to screw around with the rifle a little over the weekend. I did a quick zero and then banged some steel with some Hornady Black 175 A-max). Here is a pic of the zero target (up adjustments after each of the first 2 rounds and then sent the last 3 in the magazine. I was shooting in single digits during a snow storm, so if this is any indicator, I think I am goign to be really happy with this thing....

What rings are you switching to?

I am dropping down to lows. I am considering going with the Mark 4s again or maybe Seekins (if they were to come back in stock). It shoots well enough to ring steel out to 400 now, so I am in no real hurry. I am considering swapping on 0 MOA rail to further lower the eyepiece. I like my scope mounted low to get a more solid cheek weld, and I don't need the extra come-ups. The adjustment in the scope alone gets me to 900yds; which is plenty by itself. The 20MOA rail would extend it to 1200, but also puts my head in a les stable position on the gun, so I would rather not have it.

Also, you can remove the Timney and put in a Trigger Tech Diamond, mine is on the way. Your rifle has the new bolt so the diamond trigger will drop right in.
Thats a nice shooter.

Sounds like a good plan! Hawkins precision makes some very nice rings also.
Although seekins rings on a seekins rifle just has a nice ring to it!

Do you think the Diamond is a big step up from the Timney Elite?
