[QUOTE="trout004, post: 2718275, member: 119527"] I have a 300 WM in the Havak PH2 that has been great. It runs just over 7 lbs dry, I believe. I am not sure about the LOP that you ask of, but it feels comfortable to me. There are definitely lighter options out there, but I'm not sure that one could beat the value for the money. I bought mine new. It took about 125 rounds before the barrel started to settle in and velocity became stable. I am running 208 ELD-M's with N565, and it is a true 1/3 to 1/2 MOA rifle. I shot the 210 Berger VLD's previously, and it was easy to develop a load that was running about 1/2 MOA for those too. There is plenty of mag length and the throat seems long enough to shoot those longer bullets. I have nothing but good to say about Seekins so far. It did come with the carbon magazine a little scuffed up from the factory, but Seekins sent me a new one after a phone call - no questions asked. I haven't had any problems with about 400 rounds down the barrel. The action gets smoother with use. The Element looks like a neat option if you are going for something on the lighter side of things. I have no experience with them. Does anyone have a personal relationship with an Element? Have there been any problems with the aluminum parts? I'm curious to know too. [/QUOTE]
