[QUOTE="HuntnPack, post: 2067913, member: 42721"] Op; [HEADING=2]Do all rifle???[/HEADING] [HEADING=2]<><><><><><><><><><><><><>[/HEADING] “[B]If you had to choose[/B] [B]one rifle[/B] to hunt everything from [B]antelope to elk[/B], what would it be?

[B]I want to build[/B] a rifle but can’t decide [B]what to build[/B].” [B]<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>[/B] My choice this year for my do all rifle: is a Seekins Havak Element. Being modified for my specific hunting needs & style with a Bartlein #4 carbon, 21” 6.5cal. 7.5 twist, mod400BB SS core material. Chambered for Sherman 6.5 MAX. Jäger 7.0 oz. reflex suppressor. Topped with NF NX8 2.5-20 F2. In Seekins .870 Rings, on integral 20 moa rail. Loaded with both 156 Berger’s & lighter copper mono’s. Manageable recoil, Easy to carry. Should weigh in just over 8#. Components are available. Should be easy to find an accurate load for & the barrel material choice is said to increase barrel life. I find 6.5 caliber a pleasure to shoot accurately & confidently, important factors for shot placement. Fun to shoot & practice at steel or rocks waaay out there. And with the right bullet choice & accurate shot placement, capable of taking Antelope to Elk, up close to as far as I’m comfortable, confident, & proficient as my self imposed Long Range distance. Ya.... that’ll work. 6.5 MAX or 7MAX would be an excellent choice. Either one on a medium action. ADG headstamped fully formed brass, dies, & reamer available from Sherman. Custom loaded ammo available soon. Good luck on your “do all 1 rifle” build. [I](“Son, you know she’s a Wildcat”.... “I know Dad.. ain’t she cool”)[/I] [/QUOTE]
