[QUOTE="AK49Norseman, post: 1828002, member: 113105"] I’m new here to the forum, but definitely interested in this thread. I’m an average Joe when it comes to rifles and don’t proclaim to be an expert by any means. I own a mere two rifles, one of those being a Kimber Montana chambered in 325 wsm. Living in Alaska, I chose this as my personal “one & done” rifle. After 13 years of service, I’ve decided to retire the 325 and obtain a new 30 caliber. I’ve selected the new 300 PRC as my new modern platform and have a Seekins Havak PH2 in que to be built. That may change... They sell the rifle with one magazine. One carbon fiber magazine made exclusive for that caliber and fitment to their stock. In other words- proprietary to Seekins alone. I’ve been told you cannot top load their magazines and must release them to feed ammo. Because of this I wanted an additional magazine, and also in the event of damage/failure/loss that I’d have a back-up. Literally after two days post-order, I’m told I cannot purchase an additional magazine as they don’t have any to sell (aside from the one that it comes with). That’s the most absurd thing I’ve heard. To top that, I’m also told that no other magazines will fit the Seekins. Now I’m wondering if I can live with the one & done magazine? Since pondering this question, I have started looking at other manufacturers. I’ve ruled out a lot of custom builders mainly due to cost.
