Just musing again, anyone own one of these fine rifles? on the goofy YouTube, I've seen .25" groups and 1.5" groups. Any real THF reviews? They make the Element and I think they call it PH2.

Haven’t owned one but mounted a Swarovski scope on one in 6.5 PRC and sighted it in. Very nice rifle and it shot less than MOA. Only qualm I might have was the proprietary magazine aka clip. Oh and their AR10 rifle is very nice and very accurate!

The first barrel I spun up was for one. I found a deal on the action itself and bought it. The action has a sleeve in it and I wouldn’t buy anymore but it shoots good. I shot it, worked up a load for it and was happy, gave it to my Dad to hunt with. One day I’ll get it back and it’ll never go anywhere until I’m gone.

I have an Element in 6.5CM. A joy to carry whether stalking the open West or climbing into a box blind. It’s a consistent .5” gun. Mine uses AICS pattern mags. The mags start getting proprietary in the PRC and longer cartridges I believe.

A buddy has had ...had...3 different flavors in 6.5cm, 7cm and 300prc. All three had issues, especially with the bolt, bolt lugs and firing pin. They all went back to Seekins at least once, one more than once and they never could seem to get them fixed and smooth. He sold every one and never looked back. Glen Seekins should stick to scope rails and rings. Those, are f'n awesome
Are you going to pull those pistols, or whistle Dixie?

I've got two of their bold guns, an Element and a HIT, as well as their SP-10. The bolt guns shoot better than I do. 7 PRC and 6mm cm. the SP-10 shoots just under MOA with 178 ELD-x

I have one in 6.5 prc. I can’t remember the model but it is the one in the KRG bravo chassis. I have had it two years, mounted a 7-35 ATACR on it, and still haven’t got around to shooting it yet. Looks like a really nice rifle though.
