I decided to make a short video discussing the similarities and differences in the Seekin's Precision Pro Hunter 2 and the Element. #huntingrifle #precisionshooting
Like both rifles, but I prefer the longer barrel and the heavier weight of the PH2. The Element is just too light and the Barrel is too short and it costs $1000 more and I don't believe it shoots any better.
The barrels are made from the same material the Element is just shorter and a thinner profile to save weight. The extra cost is in the way the action is made
The1:10 works for the majority of the common projectiles but when you use the heaviest of them the extra twist is needed. Extra twist also helps it go through Trans sonic range
@BigTimberLodge In my opinion, 220 grains is the breaking point. If you're going to be using it or heavier projectiles, you might as well go with the faster twist It won't hurt. The 300 PRC will make the mile pretty easy for you.
You can stabilize 230s in the 1:10. May have an issue at lower elevations past that grain weight. If I shoot a hair under an inch I call it a bad day. I’ve squeezed out sub half MOA groups with my PH2 with factory Hornady ammo. I tend to average around .65-.75 groups with my PH2. It’s a cheat code. If I reload for it I could probably get consistent 1/2” groups.
@thelonggunner762 amazing. I appreciate this more then you can know. Thank you VERY much.. Havak stock LOP. very short. I'm like 6-4 and like a 14" + So thank you
Never messed with the seekins rifles but the barrel length and the price of the element makes me not like it imo I prefer the longer barrel I personally would rather a 25 or 26 inch barrel but 24 is ok
Was looking for a video that explained the difference in these 2 rifles. Very well done and informative. Helped with my decision. PH2 it is
I always thought the Element had a "sleeved" barrel for further weight reduction. This video tells me its not. Thanks. Very informative.
Great explanation and comparison.
Thank you! Cleared up many questions!
@seth3645 Glad I could help.
Very helpful
Great VIDEO !.. I am thinking of getting the PH2 in 300 PRC
I like the 300 PRC, I've been deliberating on weather to buy one or build one 🤔

I prefer the PH2 myself as well
Is there a difference in the barrels besides the lengths? Is the element’s better in a way that could also contribute to the higher cost?

Thoughts on Seekins putting a 1:10 twist on their 300PRC PH2 vs a 1:8 or 1:9?
The1:10 works for the majority of the common projectiles but when you use the heaviest of them the extra twist is needed. Extra twist also helps it go through Trans sonic range
@thelonggunner762 If I want to shoot out to a mile, would you recommend this rifle with the 1:10 twist or something else?

Hey there again... Do you have any idea on stock weight of the Havak VS that greyboe you showed ?
@@kylemacdonell1450 I can find out
@@kylemacdonell1450
Greyboe = 2.75 lbs
Seekins =2.25 lbs
Both weighed with a 5 slot pic rail and bottom metal installed and no mag
@thelonggunner762 amazing.
I appreciate this more then you can know.
Thank you VERY much..
Havak stock LOP.
very short.
I'm like 6-4 and like a 14" +
So thank you

I agree, i like the little longer barrels for speed. The magnum calibers on the PH2 get 26" barrels
Light rifles cost lots more
So if I were to buy the PH2 and wanted to change the stock I just need to get a Remington 700 layout that I like ???
@troyc5623 yes, you can
@@thelonggunner762thank you 👌🏻
