Have you tried or tested SAKO TRG 42A , any clibers? I have a TRG42 with a NF scope on top. Bought it at a bargain price on gunbroker, but I really want the TRG 42A (338 lapua Magnum). Mine is also a 338 LM. Let me know what you think. Or do you have alternatives a bit less expensive than the TRG42A. Thanks.

Just got mine in a urban shadow 7 mm love it. Bolt action is very smooth.

You do the best gun reviews on KZbin!!! I never seem to have enough firearms and get reluctant with some of these cheaper semi custom rigs but you’ve proven a few really do walk the walk !! Good stuff man!!

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Thank you Brandon

[@robh7360]

Just got my Seekins 6.5 prc. Absolutely a dream rifle. If you think you may want one, order soon. They are way back-ordered. I have a 300 RUM that shoots sub 3/4" at 200yrds. The Seekins easily out shoots it. Made right here in USA. At least last time I checked Idaho admitted it was still in the USA. (sarcasm)

[@guns4funfreedomkeeper999]

Good review. You got me back.

[@badlandoutdooradventures5473]

I have that rifle in 300 win and absolutely love it. Actually considering selling my CA in 6.5 prc to set this in 6.5 prc as well.

[@Bullets4Bucks]

It's fantastic

[@Bordashblades]

This was hiding out in my local shop, in .308. I immediately purchased it. Love the trigger and the bolt. Mine came with pmag not cf and it seats well with no play.

[@jrmortimer11]

Love your reviews Bullets. Really interested in your opinion. Which rifle do you prefer, if you could one have one for hunting purposes; the Seekins Ph2, or the Fierce Rival and/or Rogue? And why if you don’t mind? Thanks for all your information!

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Probably rival fp or the seekins element

Great video! What size and brand scope rings did you use ? Thank you

[@Bullets4Bucks]

I think these are vortex pmr medium rings

[@Steven-po5vs]

Thank you!

[@blindboyjonny]

Also mine came with the trigger set for 4 1/2 pounds. The adjustment screw was all the way in rather than all the way out. Had to take it apart to fix it. Somebody was asleep when this one spilled. Also magazine delivered with a firearm was a carbon fiber.

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Thats not good

[@therealgearhunter8935]

If you’re not satisfied send it back to Seekins. They have a shooter satisfaction guarantee and will cover the cost for you to ship it back. If you haven’t given the company a chance to make it right you really should complain about the gun in three separate comments on the same video. Also the magazine is supposed to be carbon fiber if you bought a ph1, ph2, or element in 300 PRC.

[@theculprit1340]

Great review and honest too. I was wondering if you would share any DOPE you had on the ranges you had shot out to. MOA at 500 600 700 etc. As you stated ammo is expensive and I would like to tune my custom built 300 PRC. I shoot the 212 Hornady ELD X at about 1 inch MOA. If you had any to share that would be great. 26" carbon fiber barrel with 1:10 twist. I shot an Elk at 550 yds at 9.4 MOA but have not been able to get out there and get my own DOPE yet. Thank you for the great reviews.

[@Picasofly]

Dope is different for every load and different altitudes and atmospheric conditions. I've had to adjust my dope by over 1 mrad at 1k yards from 1 day to the next with the same load just due to changes in wind direction temperature and humidity. Asking for dope...especially if they are shooting at a different altitude isn't going to help that much.

[@carpenternick1]

Dope can change every few hours depending on weather and atmospheric conditions. Use a ballistic calculator at the range, with current conditions, and then verify that it's accurate by actually shooting. That's all you can do.

[@OURICO45]

I am looking for 300 prc rifle . What you recommend between Christensen Mesa LR. Bergara premier pro and Seekins?

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Seekins or bergara

[@TheGeorgianGuy]

You don’t get a carbon mag with the sa models. Just a magpul one. They said one was in the works, but it’s been a year since I asked them.

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Interesting

[@jbb4591]

do you feel like the length of that vs the element at 22in is too long for hunting especially with adding a suppressor ?

[@Bullets4Bucks]

It'd pushing it but just depends where you hunt

[@bille.334]

Lightweight gun, tank of a scope on top.

Yes gen iii

[@2thelight]

considering one as well, that barrel looks longer than 26"?

[@Bullets4Bucks]

I think it 26 without brake

[@nyarnell1]

What muzzle break do you have on there? And how well does it do on managing the recoil?

[@Bullets4Bucks]

It's a silencerco brake to be used with the omega 300 silencer

[@Bullets4Bucks]

It does a good job

[@varmint223]

I see you switched ammo from the 212 to the 225 in the video what round shoots better

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Both shot well. The 225 shot better though

[@bryanbecker8399]

I know these aren't switch barrel rigs like their Seekins' Hit rifles, but does anyone here know if the barrels can be replaced at the operator level?

[@varmint223]

How many rounds did it take to really see it settle down and start to shoot? I just got my ph2 300 prc and with the factory 225 eld-m ammo I’m getting 1.25-1.5” groups

Do you know what scope base would work on this rifle? I want to switch from the 20moa to a 0 moa.

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Egw rem 700 la 20 moa... or they sell them direct

[@tjames525]

Alright, maybe I will email them directly and try to get one. I can't seem to find the exact one I'm looking for. The problem is I only want to use Nightforce and even with high rings my barrel takes up the bottom half of my scope. I'm going to try the zero moa rail and if that doesn't work I'm selling it and going to the havak element with a 22 inch barrel. It's too expensive of a setup to not be able to use the scope I want.

[@troyc5623]

@@tjames525 what are the specs on your Nightforce and did u get the problem solved ? I’m thinking about a Nightforce as well for this gun

[@tjames525]

The 4-32×50 NX8 wouldn't work at all on the 22 inch barreled element or the ph2. Even with high rings I could see the barrel plain as day on both guns. Sold the element, sold the 4-32,and bought another 2.5-20×50 Nx8. Now with medium rings it is still there but just barely with the ph2. So I found out the expensive way I liked the 2.5-20 best and I liked the ph2 better than the Element.

[@tjames525]

Seekins told me Remington 700 bases don't work and they don't make 0 moa. So 20 moa with the 2.5-20 NX8 is the best you will get with nightforce.

[@scottsquires6186]

Why pay the price of carbon for plastic

[@leonardogarcia2506]

I don’t understand why with 4 lugs, they would still design it to be a 90 degree bolt lift!? I love the feel, look, and accuracy but, it should have been a 60-70 degree bolt lift. I was super pumped about the rifle but when I got to pick one up and cycle the bolt, it felt like it was more than 90 degrees. My only complaint really. All in all, it’s crazy how budget friendly it is for all the features.

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Agreed

[@therealgearhunter8935]

90 degree throws aren’t as stiff as 60-70 degree throws when operating because there’s a longer motion in which you cock the firing pin spring. Look at the PRS guys shooting custom actions, they are almost all 90 degree throw actions.

[@leonardogarcia2506]

@@therealgearhunter8935 I understand that. I wasn’t arguing that one is better mechanically. It is something that I don’t like. More of a personal preference.

[@blindboyjonny]

Yes 8 AM I designates one and eight twist for this cartridge. If you are going to make it in 1/10 twist, just stick with the Winchester Magnum version. Very disappointed. A Rolex of a gun with only 11 numbers on the dial. Sad.

[@Bullets4Bucks]

Dang

[@blindboyjonny]

@@Bullets4Bucks would really like to see you shoot some heavy bullets in yours. Barnes says that the 208 green TTSS is a Knogo and probably 200s also. Recommended 190 green tea TSX. Would like to see if the heavier Sierras would work 220, 230, 240. I am pretty sure that the heavy Hornady ATF will not work at all. If you have nothing to Dillon would like to see some testing on this.

@joshwebb609 I can tell you this much I didn't lie about anything. I do make mistakes from time to time. This range doesn't have market yardage and I didn't use my rangefinder I remember that much. However the range master mentioned to me the distances when i first got there but i had trouble remembering. I also edited it months later and had trouble remembering which targets are which distance.

[@patmartin4411]

300PRC whole purpose is to shoot HEAVY bullets in shorter barrels. 1: 8 to 1:9 minimum. Seekins seems to be the only gun manufacturer to not understand this. Unless they know better than everyone else? I called them, and they seemed to not be able to give me a straight answer on this. To bad.
